During a Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox game, something funny occurred. A Boston Red Sox fan received a foul ball while he sat close to the field. The ball was not caught by his glove or by hand, but by fried dough! The clip went viral instantly on the web, and everyone everywhere is talking about it. It turned a typical game into a fun experience for the huge gathering of people both inside and outside the stadium.

Red Sox fan makes perfect catch using fried dough as glove

The game was going on as usual. Bo Bichette hit a foul ball into the stands. It flew into the stands where fans were sitting. Fans all looked around to see who got the ball. To everyone's surprise, the guy in his Red Sox shirt got up, and in his hand was the ball, resting perfectly on his fried dough.

The catch video was shared on social media and it started spreading quickly. People were commenting things like "Knuckleball Sandwich!" and joking about how fortunate the fan was. Some even asked if he still consumed the fried dough afterward!
It doesn't happen every day that you witness someone catching a ball with something to eat. This episode illustrated how thrilling and surprising baseball matches can be.

Red Sox foul ball moment sparks memory of last year's wild catch

Something far more terrible happened last year during a game. Another foul ball thrown by Bo Bichette went into the stands and hit a woman named Liz McGuire on the head. It was an extremely scary situation because the ball had an over 100 mph speed. She was not severely hurt and even got baseball cards and tickets afterward as a gesture of goodwill from the team.

This season's fried dough moment was much lighter and gave fans a reason to talk. It also illustrated how foul balls can make big memories, both humorous and somber. Even the Red Sox players and commentators laughed. Moments like these are why fans love going to baseball games. You never know what amusing surprise is going to happen.
