Dad Drops Daughter To Catch Foul Ball At Dodgers-Marlins Game (VIDEO)

Some people are made famous through foul balls. Sometimes foul balls find their way to famous people. Whatever the case may be, fans have to act quickly -- and sometimes with questionable levels of intelligence -- when it comes to foul balls.

In the ninth inning of Saturday's game between the Los Angeles dodgers and Florida Marlins, a father holding his daughter noticed a foul ball coming his way. He reacted as fast as he could, dropped his daughter and tried to catch it.

Unfortunately, the father ended up dropping the ball as well. Scroll down to watch the video.

It is obvious that he thought the kid had her feet on the ground when she really put them up on the railing.

The only foul was missing the catch.

There will be many oppurtunities to bond with one's child...not nearly as many to catch a foul ball, however..

A little tickle does not make up for the act of dropping her...

Probably that he's not allowed to stand kids on the rails and fences.

It didn't seem that bad. He didn't "drop" her. He just placed her where she stumbled a bit. Still a bit wrong, thought. But the biggest problem was that he missed that easy foul ball.

The headline makes it sound like he is holding an infant. Still, it was kind of crude of him.

I so don't want to be sexist but compare this to the mom catching a foul with one hand while keeping a tight hold on the kid with the other.

Ouch! Great parenting skills though questionable ball skills.
