Braves employee makes 1-handed snag of Cespedes' slam

Yoenis Cespedes hit a moon shot of a grand slam and it wasn't even the most memorable part of the play.

A Turner Field worker had his search for customers in the bleachers rudely interrupted by the New York Mets slugger, who smacked his 30th home run of the season to give his team an early 5-0 lead. Rather than freak out at the ball coming towards him, though, the employee reached up and caught the rocket with his bare hand, then followed with a very appropriate celebration.

If the NL-worst Atlanta Braves need any outfield help they might want to consider promoting this concession salesman to the role of defensive replacement.
