I've done it. Twice! Once in a little league game, I was center field, and this kid pops one that's going out right over me. I figured, what the heck, throw the glove up and see what happens. I hit it and the ball falls to my side, about 10 feet away, and I throw the ball into the infield and they tag the guy who's standing just 5 feet from second, stunned! I don't recall how long it took them to award him a home run, but it seemed like a long time. I had the miserable feeling that I was going to get in serious trouble, too, but nothing happened.
The other time, my church league softball team was practicing and we were jacking around. Same deal though -- fly pop up and I nailed it with my glove, probably about 15 feet or so in the air.
