Lucky Astros Fan Catches Two Home Runs
Amazing: Via BTF, Astros fan Shaun Dean caught both the Lance Berkman grand slam ball and the Chris Burke game-winner.
Dean, 25, was sitting in the second row of the Crawford boxes. A client had given tickets to Joslin Construction, where he is comptroller.Dean says he will probably return Burke's ball because of its historic nature."I never caught one in a game before," he said.
But with one out in the eighth, with the bases loaded and the Astros down 6-1, Berkman hit his line drive. Fortunately, Dean was wearing a glove.
"It came right at me," he said, "I just reached over and caught it."
Later — about three hours — Burke came to the plate with two out in the 18th. When he connected, the drive was not on as direct a line as Berkman's but Dean said "it was all just a blur ... (it) came more toward my father-in-law, and he just leaned over and I reached down and caught it."
