Anybody ever caught a foul ball at a major league game?

Friday night, Marlins vs. Pirates. I've been to hundreds of games and never caught a foul ball. I'm there with my wife and 9 year old. We're sitting about 10 feet behind the Pirates' dugout, first base side when Josh Harrison hits a sky high foul ball DIRECTLY at me.

To make a long story short, I got two hands on the damn ball but it spun out of my grasp and into the lap of the dude sitting in front of me. Yes, I'm sure I looked like an idiot. He was a nice dude and gave the ball to my little girl.

My wife just looked at me after I dropped the ball and said; "Have another beer, Chris".

Any of you fools ever caught one on the fly?

I've caught two. One was off the bat of current Dodgers manage Dave Roberts and the other was off the bat of some Reds catcher. I can't remember who it was.

Alas, I have no idea where they are since we moved 5 years ago.
