Watch A's fan become ecstatic after catching a foul ball in the stands

Share

Don't you love a good foul ball catch by a fan? We do too. And so did this A's fan.

In the top of the sixth inning during the A's-Red Sox game on Wednesday night, Rafael Devers hit a foul ball into the stands.

Then this happened:

Perfect execution. Perfect grab. And a beyond perfect reaction from Heather McLean.

"It was a complete and utter surprise," McLean told NBC Sports California. "I had literally been practicing catching pop flies over the weekend for softball practice, so it worked out -- borderline magically."

McLean, sporting a Ramón Laureano jersey, was in shock from the snag. And we couldn't be happier for her -- and fans were as well.

"Glad to see my delight resonated with people," she laughed.
