A Rangers fan, inspired by his Adrian Beltre shirt, speared a foul ball while holding his baby

The Rangers have been forced to start this season without team leader and all-around expert showman Adrian Beltre, who's still sidelined with a calf injury -- but his presence was still felt at Globe Life Park in the team's 8-1 loss to the Twins on Tuesday night.
Rougned Odor lofted a foul ball toward the second deck in the seventh inning, and it eventually wound up in the hands of a fan proudly wearing a Beltre shirsey.
A great play in the stands no matter how you look at it, but this fan was also holding his young child so he had an extra challenge: Keep your kid safe, but also make a sweet barehanded play on a moving, spinning baseball.
He found a way, thank you very much: 

We'll go ahead and assume he was inspired by his favorite player's own ability to make similar plays in the field:
