Steve Monforto finally caught the ball! After attending Phillies games since he was three years old, he caught the ball on September 15, 2009. He promptly gave the ball to his young daughter, Emily, who was sitting next to him in the stands, and Emily immediately threw it back to the infield. Montforto, at first startled and caught off guard, hugged her for doing the right thing by returning the ball to its owners.
All of this was caught on video, which immediately began to go viral on YouTube.
