Dad of the year makes one-handed baseball catch while feeding his baby (Gif)

Safe hands...

A dad from Chicago has made headlines after pulling off an amazing one-handed catch during a game between the LA Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs.

But not only did Cubs fan Keith Hartley steal the foul ball right off the glove of the Dodgers fielder, he did it while feeding his baby with his spare hand.

Just look at that technique. The one-handed baby feeding is impressive enough to be honest.

After reviewing the catch, the umpires decided that he had interfered with play and called the batter as out, avoiding a different kind of storm to the one seen in Chicago over the weekend.

“You have to worry about the baby, but he looks like he had it under control. He looks like he did it before, almost,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon joked after the game.

Remember though, it’s not as easy as it looks…
