Undaunted by a hard-hit foul, a fan in Oakland needed just one hand to make a barehanded catch

Even as baseball evolves in the 21st century, some fans still understandably enjoy the relaxation of keeping score at a ballgame. It's a simple, fun way to pass the time and record your own souvenir.
So what happens when a well-struck foul ball comes straight in your direction in the middle of an at-bat? Like the players on the field, you just react.
Not all of us can react quite as well as this fan at Saturday's Braves-A's game, though:

Barehanded catches are one thing, but to get the ball with just one hand and at a rapid speed, no less? That's pretty awesome.
At the very least, it's worth a special note in his scorecard.
