There's No Crying In Baseball

0 min read

Except for this dad, who probably wanted to cry when his three year-old daughter threw back the foul ball he caught!

However, kudos to Steve Monforto for giving his daughter a big bear hug instead of flipping out.

From the newscaster: "Steve said his daughter seemed a little bit scared by the gasps when she threw the ball back, so he enveloped her in a bear hug."

Check out the video. And no worries, the Phillies gave the family a signed baseball, so Steve did, in a sense, still get to keep his first foul ball!
