Look at this Phillies baseball baby attempt to eat a home run baseball

• A good baby wound up with a home run ball at the Phillies game on Wednesday.
• The baby then tried to eat the baseball.
• Baby, please don't eat the baseball.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants played the final game of their three-game series at Citizens Bank Park.

In the bottom of the second inning, Phillies centerfielder Mickey Moniak hit the first home run of his professional career, giving the home team a 3-0 lead early in the game.

Moniak likely hoped to save that ball for his collection - a physical representation of his first big league dinger - but unfortunately, a baby ate it.

Well, almost.

In the stands, a baby had wound up with the home run ball and seemed determined to eat it. If not for some phenomenal defense played by the baby's caretaker, that baby would have eaten that dinger.

We might not believe that baseballs are meant to be eaten, but what if this baby has seen a truth that we as adults have grown too jaded to understand? When's the last time you tried to eat a baseball?

Imagine what this sport could be if we opened our minds past the three true outcomes and introduced a fourth: dinner.

This baby may have been denied this meal, but they have also moved the sport forward in ways we couldn't comprehend.

The Phillies would win the game 6-5 thanks to a walk-off single by Andrew Knapp.
