Baseball fan toasts amazing frothy catch
Quinn Jones
A baseball fan has toasted her ability to take an amazing catch after snaring a foul ball in her beer at a Major League Baseball match.
The woman, wearing a Chicago Cubs jersey, was sitting up in the bleachers when San Diego first baseman Yonder Alonso smashed the ball way out of left field.
In footage of the match, the commentary team is interrupted by loud cheering in the stands before the cameras spot the woman smiling and holding aloft her beer.

She then drains the nearly full cup much to the surprise of the announcers.
"That's pretty impressive," says one commentator of the woman's catch before producers switch to slow motion footage of the incident.
"With skills like that you could win a goldfish at the carnival."
