Former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete makes catch of foul ball in Tokyo
Well, it was only fitting the Chicago Cubs were involved in an MLB game that saw someone snag a foul ball away from a player.
This time it benefited the Cubs as opposed to years ago when it didn't. The Dodgers and Chicago opened their seasons in Tokyo with a two-game series.
A pop fly was lofted into foul territory and the Dodgers' Max Muncy drifted toward the seats to make an attempt at a great catch.
The only problem was someone associated with throwing -- footballs -- had eyes on the baseball, too.
Former USC star and NFL quarterback Rodney Peete had a glove and a great seat and snagged the foul ball.

Since this was the first game of the season, it would be too cruel to say Peete pulled a "Bartman," right?
