I can’t believe this.
When it comes to a fan catching a foul ball at an MLB game (when it comes to baseball games, at all), it’s a very rare occurrence, which is why it’s special when it happens. But Seattle Mariners fans performed some absolute black magic on Monday night, catching not one, but two foul balls. And understand this: It happened on consecutive pitches.
inside first innings Seattle’s leadoff batter for the Mariners vs. Kansas City Royals game Josh Rojas He threw a foul ball toward the left field. The ball flew over the wall and into the stands, and at just the right place, at the right time, a Mariners fan caught it and turned it into some cool merchandise.

The exact same thing happened literally on the next pitch, and the “right place, right time” vibe turned into a “well, this is really weird” vibe. Even more ominously, the knock came from Rojas’ same batter. He hit a foul ball again after a late swing. He hit it in the same direction toward left field, where the same fan was there to catch it.
Two foul balls in a row…wow!

I have to agree with the Mariners organization here: This guy needs to take a gamble. It got me thinking, if this guy was lucky, how much money could he win?
Hmm…Actually, you’d need a lucky rabbit’s foot to spend the night at this guy’s house or something. (Didi isn’t there)
