Baseball isn't just a game, it's a tradition. It's going to the ballpark with your family, exposing your children's ears to their first bellowed curse words, eating ice cream out of little helmets and waiting in hopes that some exciting stuff will go down.

According to Deadspin, the crowd at the Cubs-Cardinals game last Sunday got their fair share of exciting stuff as a father in the stands caught a foul ball with a baby in his arms. That was inspiration enough for them to create the following video spectacular: A compilation of dads catching foul balls while holding their babies.

While I'd love to get in a moral discussion about what's more important, children or the opportunity to catch a baseball, we can save it for another day because nobody in this video gets hurt! Amazing! I tip my tiny ice cream helmet to you, dads (I'm not at a game, I'm just wearing a tiny helmet.) Way to go.
