WATCH: Rockies fan at Coors Field makes the Catch of the Year

The Rockies were in the top of the eighth inning. Padres winning 1-0. Runner on first with one out. Coors Field is basically a ghost town. There’s a small cluster of fans hanging around the first base line. And out of nowhere, a hero was born.

Let me know how many times you had to watch the video before even realizing what happened. It took me a million watches before I could piece together exactly what I was seeing. It’s confusing at first because the Rockies fan is facing the opposite direction of the batter when he launches himself airborne down multiple rows of seats. He literally launches himself into the void without hesitation.

Full commit. Beer in hand. Zero regard for his own body or the laws of physics.

Upon further review, the Rockies fan was playing a bounce off the second deck. The ball came off the upper level and he tracked it like a Gold Glover playing a carom off the wall. Except he’s not a Gold Glover. He’s a random dude at a Rockies game on a Wednesday night. And he just made the catch of the year.

That landing was not soft. I guarantee the bruise is nasty. He probably couldn’t move his ribs for three days after that. But he made the catch and that’s all that matters. The commitment was absolute.

There was zero hesitation. In a split second, this man’s brain processed the trajectory of a baseball bouncing off concrete, calculated the angle, decided the only option was to go completely airborne over multiple rows of seats with a beer in his hand, and executed. That’s not a decision most people are capable of making. That’s pure instinct from a man who was more locked in than anyone actually on the baseball field.

Coors Field is known for producing great offense but there’s something else in the air in Denver right now besides a lack of oxygen. Rockies fans have been making catch-of-the-year caliber plays every other night. Beers and babies be damned. All that passion for a foul ball at a game between two teams going nowhere. Truly incredible.

Zack Hample’s child-trampling ass could never make this play. Not in a million years.

Note: I’m going to be so pissed if we find out that was Zack Hample.
