United States Senator and 78-year-old retired Navy Captain John McCain may have braved three years of torture and despair in a North Vietnamese prison, but when it comes to catching a baseball while leisurely taking in a Major League Baseball game — well — let’s just say he’s a goddamn hero and leave at that.
The man more than earned his right to sit in the stands and let a perfectly-catchable foul ball bounce off his lap like flubber (and that’s precisely what he let happen).
In fact, there wouldn’t even be baseball without brave Americans like him. And that’s the truth.
That being said, enjoy the GIF.
