| Minor Leaguer's 1st Home Run Caught by Dad |
| 2014-05-28 |
| [An Nahar] A 22-year-old Houston Astros prospect's first home run of the season was caught by a familiar fan: his father. Quad Cities first baseman Conrad Gregor launched a three-run shot in the sixth inning of the Class-A River Bandits' 5-2 win over the Cedar Rapids Kernels at Modern Woodmen Park in Davenport, Iowa, on Saturday night. A fan beyond the fence in right-center field caught the ball and proudly waved his arms. It turned out it was Gregor's father, Marty. The Quad City Times reported that Gregor's parents made the five-hour drive from Carmel, Indiana, to attend the River Bandits' weekend series. "When I got back to the dugout," Gregor said, "I heard he made a pretty good catch." |
