Watch: Yankees fan catches foul ball despite adorable human blindfold
During Saturday's game between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, a fan in the stands found himself in a situation many dads can relate to.
With a young girl sitting on his shoulders, a fan wearing a Yankees jersey suddenly found himself covered by a human blindfold as the girl's hands covered his eyes.

Cabrera grounded out on the next pitch, making the foul ball snag the highlight of the third inning.
Commentators Michael Kay and Jeff Nelson were duly impressed with the catch.
"Dad power right there," Nelson said.
The real dad power: giving the ball to the girl after making the catch. The rest was a subtle combination of skill, good fortune, and being in the right place at the right time.
