Watch Diamondbacks' Kole Calhoun adorably fist bump young fan who caught this foul ball
The ultimate sign of respect.
Kole Calhoun missed an easy foul ball on Friday, but it’s one he can’t be mad about. During the Arizona Diamondbacks game against the Atlanta Braves, Calhoun had the chance to record an easy second out on a foul ball from Austin Riley but the ball found another recipient in the stands.
Instead of Calhoun catching the — relatively easy — foul ball in right field, it was a young fan in the stands sitting right in the trajectory of the ball who nabbed it. Calhoun’s reaction, at first in near disbelief that he was beaten to the ball by a kid then turning to amusement as he fist bumped the fan in congratulations, is worth watching this clip multiple times for.
I mean…you can't be mad at that, right?

Honestly, the Diamondbacks would do well to sign the kid to a contract given his fielding skills. What a cute, adorable moment.
