And dadgummit, this dude has earned his freedoms. Watch as the Oakland A's fan below barehands a foul ball with one hand while nursing his beer in the other, by all appearances not wasting a single drop of suds as he coolly corrals the cowhide. 

Now that's coddam impressive. Not as impressive: Oakland's 1-3 record to start the season. 

Perhaps the A's should sign him up?
