[Epoch Times, June 14, 2021](Reported by Epoch Times reporter Chen Juncun) A woman in California took her baby to watch a major league game on June 9th. During the game, an out-of-bounds ball flew towards her. She was holding the baby in her left hand, and she stretched her right hand up to catch the ball. It is not easy to catch the ball with one hand, and she is still holding the baby. It is no wonder that netizens describe this catch as “unbelievable.”
The woman named Lexy Whitmore is a fan of the San Diego Padres. She took her 3-month-old son, Maverick, to watch the San Diego Padres play against the Chicago Cubs that day.
In the 6th game, a bad ball was hit and then flew to the stands. It bounced on the aisle first, then flew towards Whitmore’s seat. At this time, a group of fans stood trying to catch the ball, but only Whitmore managed to receive it.
In the live broadcast, an announcer said in surprise: “Received with the right hand and holding the baby.”
The San Diego Padres shared the footage at the time on Twitter.The tweet wrote: “Mom is amazing.” (clickHereYou can see this picture)
Many netizens commented on this picture. Some people say that this proves that mothers are all superheroes; others say: “I have seen a lot of strange catches from baseball fans, and this is one of the best catches.”
According to NBC television, Whitmore is a native of San Diego, but now lives in the Bay Area. Her husband is currently training in the Navy, so she took Maverick back to his hometown to watch the game.
Although her beautiful catch has become popular on the Internet, she told NBC TV that the ball just flew towards her and she didn’t think she was catching it well.
She also mentioned that she always held her son in her arms. She knew he was safe. She rejected some netizens’ claims that catching the ball with one hand would cause danger to their son.
She said: “What I must say is that our mothers know where our children are.”
Despite this super mom cheering, it is a pity that in this game, the San Diego Padres lost to the Chicago Cubs by a score of 1:3.
