Did this Oakland A's ballboy just make MLB's catch of the season?
Get this kid a Golden Glove award. Get him a contract. Get him a damn bust in the Hall of Fame.

After Kansas City's Christian Colon sent a line-drive foul-ball screaming toward the stands along the right-field line, our unidentified hero leapt into action. No, literally -- he leapt.

Best catch of the season? Surely there will be snags this year made by actual pros that are more acrobatic and get more attention.
But will any of those catches save an unsuspecting fan from a broken face quite like our ballboy does here? Didn't think so.
And the tip of the cap after was oh-so-smooth.
Now, is there something in the water out in Oakland? Recall it was an A's fan who recently made this legendary catch of a foul ball.
