Somehow this feels extra significant because it was Father’s Day. Plus, his baby is rocking a pretty fly bucket hat, so enjoy that as well. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2881476/coolest-dad-ever-catches-home-run-with-one-hand-while-holding-his-baby-with-the-other/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2881476/coolest-dad-ever-catches-home-run-with-one-hand-while-holding-his-baby-with-the-other/"},"headline":"Coolest Dad Ever Catches Home Run With One Hand While Holding His Baby With the Other","datePublished":"2014-06-16T14:28:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:10:47.493Z","description":"On Father's Day, no less","url":"https://time.com/2881476/coolest-dad-ever-catches-home-run-with-one-hand-while-holding-his-baby-with-the-other/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Baseball","dads","Father's Day","Sports"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2881476/coolest-dad-ever-catches-home-run-with-one-hand-while-holding-his-baby-with-the-other/","name":"Coolest Dad Ever Catches Home Run With One Hand While Holding His Baby With the Other"}}]}] ```
