<p>Did you see the video of the dad who caught a foul ball at Phillies game, and handed it to his little daughter, who promptly threw it back onto the field? Best dad ever.</p>
<p>Loved it! The big hug was the perfect response. Those girls will grow up knowing what is really valuable.</p>
<p>Adorable. My dad would have rung my neck. Though I would have known not to throw a coveted foul ball back! ;)</p>
<p>I saw that! Such a cute and funny story. I loved the expression on the dad’s face after she threw the ball. I’m assuming that no one on the lower tier was hit by the ball and injured, since none of the reports I’ve seen or read mentioned it.</p>
<p>I was stunned that the dad kept his smile on . . good practice for having a teenager.</p>
<p>Kei</p>
<p>Happily Dad got another ball from the Phillies. What a great and cute story though! And Kei- you’re so right about the good practice for a teenager part!</p>
<p>That was a great Kodak moment! 
I looked for it on Youtube and found an interview of the Dad with video of the event playing over and over again in the background, which was ok because I kept noticing different things, like how he high fives all the guys around him and even high fives his daughter before he handed her the ball, and it is hilarious to watch his reaction several times.</p>
<p>Obviously the little girl was confused and thought it was a home run hit by the visiting team. Aren’t you supposed to throw those back?</p>
<p>He was interviewed and described trying to catch a ball his entire life. And here he did in front of his daughter. He said that when she threw it back he momentarily made a face, and then realized that she then had that “I did somethng wrong” look in response. So he quickly gave her a big “daddy loves you” hug. What a great dad.</p>
<p>I thought it was totally adorable.</p>
<p>I’d give him the daddy of the year award… To think that fast and to respond so perfectly is something I doubt that I could achieve… A tip of the cap to the daddy of the year…</p>
<p>…but now, having learned that she did something “wrong,” she’s saying she “dropped” the ball. Gotta love it!</p>
