Who needs a glove when you have fried dough?
Yes, you read that sentence correctly. During Thursday¡¯s Red Sox-Blue Jays game at Fenway Park, a fan snagged a foul ball with a funnel cake. No mitt necessary.
Perhaps the pastry had a magnet, because once the ball left the bat of Bo Bichette, it snaked through the stands and landed directly into the snack. The lucky fan, rather nonchalantly, hoisted the combination of food and souvenir into the air to receive an unlikely ovation. If anything, it looked like he¡¯d done it before.
When it comes to catching a foul ball, we've seen a bit of everything over the years, each feat more impressive than the last. Fans have snared line drives with one hand, snagged a ball while feeding a baby, and even caught foul balls on two consecutive pitches. Two weeks into the 2025 season, the fried dough catch has already set a new standard.
No word on if the fan continued to enjoy his funnel cake after the grab, but a victory is meant to taste twice as sweet.
