Watch the incredible moment a woman pulls of her prosthetic leg and uses it like a glove to catch a home run.

Shannon Frendeis, a leg amputee, has made history while attending a baseball game between the Chicago White Socks and the Detroit Tigers.

Allegedly 'five beers in', Shannon somehow still had fast enough reflexes to whip off her prosthetic leg and use it as a glove to catch a home run flying her way. 

She posted a video of the amazing moment to her Instagram and TikTok accounts with the caption, "Five beers in, and taking my leg off to catch a ball seemed like a great idea."
