Sleeveless bro who catches towering foul ball with a single bare hand is a true American hero

As the Northeast braced for snow on Sunday night, Athletics fan Cam Adams and his buddies were in full-on "sun's out, guns out" mode at Spring Training in Phoenix, Ariz., where the Brewers were hosting (half of) the Dodgers.
The Brewers were leading, 3-1, in the top of the seventh when third base prospect Rob Segedin turned on an inside pitch and launched a towering foul ball down the left-field line toward Adams, who was moving along the path that cuts through the grass seating just beyond the outfield wall.
While Segedin waited to see if his shot would curve inside the left-field pole, Adams -- who played college ball at a small Division III school -- lined himself up to make a play on the ball ... and make a play he did:

No glove ... no sleeves ... no problem. Someone get Adams a medal or a flag cape or something because that kind of catch is how true American heroes are made.
