MLB: Top five all-time fan interference plays

3. Dad Makes the Play of a Lifetime

As if catching a ball barehanded off an MLB bat isn’t hard enough, Keith Hartley has officially put all Dads to shame by stealing a foul out catch from Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez at Wrigley Field.

Hartley did this all while holding and feeding his infant child, making this fan interference as Willie Mays-esque as is possible.

The play still ended up an out, as Gonzalez clearly was placed under the ball with his glove prepared to make the grab easily.  But how could Cubs fans be upset with such an epic interference?  The top incident of this list might make you think otherwise.
