The A’s ballboy made an awesome catch on a hard-hit foul ball and MLB fans loved it

This kid lived the ballboy dream!

One of the coolest jobs you can get as a kid has to be being a ballboy for a Major League Baseball team. You get to wear a uniform and watch the game from a pretty good seat on the field.

Oh, and you also get the chance to make some plays with your glove, which has to be a lot of fun.

Last night in Oakland one young fella lived the ballboy dream when he made a great catch on a hard-hit foul ball. He likely protected the Texas Rangers’ bullpen with his grab and he also had the crowd going nuts for him after he showed he had the ball in his glove.

This is great:

I love that he showed that he had the ball in his glove like the ump was going to see and call an out or something.

Twitter loved it, too:
