Athletics Fan Catches Foul Ball While on Cell Phone Moments After Just Missing Another Souvenir (Video)

One Athletics fan had a busy night in the stands on Monday.

The lucky fan made a nifty grab on a foul ball during the seventh inning of Oakland's victory. The catch came despite him chatting away on his cell phone, and it also came after he just missed out on a previous foul ball moments earlier.

The A's blew out the Rangers 12-1 behind a solid effort from rookie Jarrod Parker, who took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning. The victory was clearly just an added bonus for this guy, though.

Check out the nice snag in the video below. One can only imagine what was said during the phone conversation.
