Hero dad makes one-handed catch while holding baby (Big League Stew)

Sunday may have been Mother's Day, but this dad deserves some recognition.

During Sunday's Philadelphia Phillies' game, this dad began his case for the "Father of the Year Award." In the fourth inning, New York Mets infielder Daniel Murphy fouled a 93 mph fastball into the stands. 

That's when hero dad sprung into action. With his child around his chest, this father made a tremendous one-handed catch, winning glory and admiration from his fellow fans.
