Watching this video made the hair on my arms stand up on end and gave me
the chills. I'm so glad he caught him. They said he is amateur baseball player ironically a "catcher". I'm sure he will always be a "hero" in this mothers eyes. WOW!!!!

But what cracked me up was the woman standing in the background by herself. Like yeah I'm tossing my 1 month old to you.

I saw it on CNN this morning--talk about a Christmas miracle. They said the baby wsn't breathing when he caught it, and he performed CPR and it started to breath again. Truly a hero. I hope the City recognizes his good deed.
