Alec Baldwin is going to be gloating about this one for a while.

Last Monday night at the U.S. Open, Maria Kirilenko hit an out-of-bounds ball that bounced into the stands and landed flawlessly into Alec Baldwin's hand.

Applause ensued. Then, instead of holding onto the ball as a keepsake, he threw it back to the ball boy and carried on with his viewing experience from the front row.

Baldwin told ESPN, "I don't play tennis well, but I can catch a slow-moving tennis ball."

How humble of him.
