Fan makes great catch while feeding baby

That exchange between Miggy and the kid is hilarious. The Rangers need to sign that kid as a fan.
As for the other video, the TV announcers really get on their high horse against that fan on the game broadcast. They don't even give him props for the epic snag.
Announcer 1: "Mister, there are bigger things in life than a foul ball. That's unbelievable."
Announcer 2: "He's supposed to be kicked out of the game, too."

It's not a feat of Wade Boggs-level proportions, but Terry Francona ate 17 popsicles in one night.

Josh Donaldson actually does what everyone THINKS Derek Jeter did.
So now you have to ask...
Which Blue Jays player will win the "Play of the Year" award?
Donaldson for the above catch, or Kevin Pillar?

Do you have a specific play he's made this season that tops those two?
(I said "Play of the Year", not "Player of the Year".)

I don't.
And the Jays have been awesome this year.
But he is Mike Trout, a guy with more "no way" defensive plays than anyone I've seen for years (my Willie Mays bobblehead nods in agreement).
Wait ..

Kid jaws with Miggy Cabrera, and gets a surprise.
