For one lucky sports bettor attending a Diamondbacks game last week, the absolute unthinkable happened.

The fan went to Chase Field to enjoy a night of MLB between Arizona and Atlanta last Thursday. He placed a $50 bet on Diamondback Eugenio Suarez +700 to hit a home run. 

If it cashed, that $50 wager would be worth $400.

Well, not only did it cash, but the MLB fan caught the very home run ball from Suarez that turned his bet into green.

You read that right.

Sitting in the outfield, the fan caught a home run off the bat of Eugenio Suarez. 

Catching a home run is one thing; catching a home run to cash your home run bet is literally unheard of. 

This once-in-a-lifetime moment will be forever etched in sports betting history.

And the icing on this already sweet story is that Suarez’s home run was the only run of the game as the Diamondbacks defeated the Braves 1-0.

Suarez’s HR was his ninth of the year and Arizona now has a 49-48 record heading into this week’s All-Star break. They are currently second in the NL West, sitting seven games behind the first-place Dodgers in the division.

Are you now inspired to place some homerun wagers and then go sit in the outfield to try to catch them?

The second half of the MLB season is right around the corner, so best of luck!
