I still like the comment I read earlier saying that this feat is rare indeed, but if he was at a Marlins game and seating in the outfield seats, he would have only had to overcome 50/50 odds of getting both balls… would have been either him or the other fan out there

The HR balls aren’t his anymore. 1st one went to player and 2nd one went to his buddy who deflected the ball his way.

He deserves plenty of credit for being the only Reds fan with two balls.

Funny, classy move by the Reds. What’s the owner’s name again? I want to get him two free tickets to the next Over the Rhine concert. For his spirit’s encouragement.

Caleb Lloyd is on steroids. It's plain and simple. As the main stream media, and a variety of mother's basement keyboard hacks have repeatedly stated, rare and seemingly impossible feats in baseball are only possible with the assistance of that morality eroding, history rewriting, anti-Christ stuff we commonly call steroids. The chances of catching a home run are very small. The chances of catching two home runs, minuscule. The chances of catching two consecutive dingers? Well, that's steroids territory right there.

A random fan from the stands is as good as any for the most over-rated – and peurile – title in baseball.

Pretty awesome. Well done by the Reds.
Reporters asked him about his experience after the game and Lloyd said ” I,m just happy to be here, hope I can help the ball club”
