a live look at citizens bank park. the phillies take on the arizona diamondbacks here tonight. you can see it right here on nbc 10. >> in the meantime people are still talking about a sensational snag in the stands at last night's game. comcast sportsnet's look at the

grab and the fan who made it. >> maybe the phillies might look at signing him up. >> you might have a point. everyone knows when you go to the ballpark you have to watch out for foul balls. they even print a warning on the back of the ticket. but this fan was certainly ready. kevin pilar hit a foul ball right down the right-field line, and brian kukarich from boostwin pa, look at this, made the one-handed snag with his daughter on his lap. you figure if a baseball is flying in the direction of your child you'd be nervous. but this guy was cool. the only casualty was his french fries. greg murphy talked to him after replenishing his snack. >> i've got to tell you we watched that like six times. you looked pretty nonchalant. you ever play some ball in your life? >> i've been playing for about 30 years now. so yeah. it looked like a normal fly ball from the outfield. put my hand up. i'm lefty. so my right hand catching the ball was pretty easy.

>> she didn't seem to move. >> she was tired. she recognized we got the ball but she didn't know what was happening when it happened. >> one of these days you'll be able to show that video to emily and she'll say look, there i was on tv, nice catch, dad. >> the ball's hers for the rest of her life. there you go. >> that's the thing about kids. they are never impressed. this isn't the first time a fan at citizens bank park has successfully mixed baseball with baby-sitting. this guy made a one-handed grab with his baby strapped to his chest. pretty impressive. that's for sure. while the fans are showing off their stuff in the stands the team on the field has struggled mightily with the skipper holding a team meeting after last night's loss. i'm have more on that when i rejoin you at 6:00. but for now i'm danny pommells. >> not only did he hang on to his daughter without a problem but his huge tray of food perfectly intact. he didn't drop that either. >> the balancing act was very impressive. that's for sure. we've got to get keith jones out there, strap him with one arm down, see what he can do.
