Step aside David Beckham; there’s a new cool dad in town and his “Dad Bod” and ultimate catching arm will make women swoon! But he probably got a bollocking from his misses after gambling on a catch while feeding their seven-month-old at a baseball game.
“I’m pretty confident of my catching ability. It was a difficult catch, but they say when you are good at something it looks easy,” said Keith Hartley. Not smug at all.
Getting into the Chicago Cubs game with last-minute tickets usually means nosebleed seats, but luckily the couple found themselves in the front row and in the “foul ball zone”. Hartley had one thing on his mind all game; he was on the hunt for a memento.
“I was paying close attention for flying balls or bats the whole time,” he said.
Try paying more attention on your seven-month-old baby who you’ve brought into an area of the stadium that is prone for flying bats and balls. We can’t be too angry with him as he pulled off an unbelievable catch. But still, in the words of beloved Simpsons character, Helen Lovejoy, “Think of the children!”
With little baby Isaac cradled in his left arm, nursing a bottle, Hartley saw his opportunity to get his ball, “It was just floating in my direction, so I decided to reach my hand out and just catch it” – usually the line muttered by a boozy punter while he gets his arse handed to him by bouncers at the dodgy local strip club.
Hartley mentioned after his catch that baby Isaac was unfazed by the incident and didn’t realise anything unusual had happened. Maybe because he’s a baby and was busy sucking on what he thought was your wife’s boob!
It takes a lot to distract any male from sucking on a nipple.
