PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco hit his first Major League home run on Sunday. That’s not debatable. Who caught the keepsake baseball, well that part is.
A Phillies fan named Joyce had the ball taken from her hands by a middle-aged man. The video went viral on Monday.
“He took the ball out of my hands,” Joyce told Angelo Cataldi and the 94WIP Morning Show on Monday. “It was my hand, I was trying to get a better grip on it because I’m only 4 [foot], 10 [inches]. I can’t reach over the fence too well and he just shoved me aside and took it out of my hand.
