Until an elderly gentleman -- whom the Chicago Tribune reported to be 65-year-old Mike Pullin of Rochelle -- made a terrific snag, leaning backward on one foot.

Then with the wisdom he's garnered as a Cubs fan, he kept the home run ball and sneakily threw back a different ball that he'd brought to the park.
