I saw this on New Zealand news, the more I watch it the more interesting and fun it became. Basically it put a smile on my face all day long.
The Phillies Daddy caught the foul ball behind the plate (which is really hard to do considering the spin and deviation of the ball!!), HI-FIs his friends and 3 year-old daughter Emily, who then receives the ball and throws it back towards the field.
The little girl's innocent act shocked everyone in the stand especially her daddy. According to Steve (the dad) the girl thought she did something wrong after the crowd's reaction, mommy's reaction, her 15-month-old sister's stare, and most importantly her father's fascial expression. So Steve immediately hugged her to show that "it's ok^^you did nothing wrong"
Touching. Reactions from people who has seen this includes:
"he should win Father of the Year Award"
"Priceless moment"
"The guy has got his priority right"
"More touching than the Phillies winning the World Series"
Apparently the person who caught the ball in the stand below gave the ball back and Steve and his naughty daughter are going to receive a queue of interviews, a surprise present and possibly VIP membership for life.
The video was supposed to be a phenomenal viral hit (my friends ranging from Taiwan to NZ have seen it) but MLB decided to forbid others from posting the videos. So I'll just post the link but hopefully in the near future I can post the video here to enhance the quality of my blog.
