Baltimore Orioles rookie third baseman Manny Machado hit the first two home runs of his major league baseball career during Friday night's 7-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. However, the more interesting part of the story is the fan in the stands at Camden Yards who caught both baseballs.
The lucky fan, 15-year-old Adam Corder, had to run to get Machado's first home run in the fifth inning. However, Machado's second home run in the sixth inning landed right in front of him, and he only had to bend over to pick it up.
Corder worked out a trade with the Orioles where he gave up Machado's first home run ball in exchange for several signed baseballs and a bat, but kept the other baseball.
