Joe Torre, a legendary former manager of the New York Yankees (as well as a catcher for several MLB teams) is known for his work in baseball. Apparently, his catching skills were passed onto his daughter, Christina:

“I quickly got up and looked, and there was a baby kind of straddling the fire escape between the second and the third floor,” she said. “All of a sudden it slipped, and it was dangling and holding on with its hands.”

The baby couldn’t hold on and hit an awning as he fell into Torre’s hands.

“I was still talking to 911 and I just put out my arms, and literally, it was effortless,” she said. “It was meant to be. He landed in my arms.”

A 44-year-old preschool teacher, Christina is now another everyday hero. She made a legendary perfect catch - compare that to a legendary not-so-perfect throw.
