Fan catches flying bat, gets a kiss as a reward (VIDEO)

There have already been some scary incidents with flying bats at MLB ballparks this season. So when San Francisco Giants pitcher Jake Peavy lost his grip and sent his bat hurtling into the stands at a rainy Nationals Park, everyone held their collective breaths.

Not to worry because this fan made a smooth, nonchalant grab of this wood missile and saved the day.

The alert hero even got a kiss from from the damsel next to him.

Just a reminder to everyone sitting around the home plate line of fire — keep your eyes on the game and not your tweets.
