— -- This dad can multi-task.

Chicago Cubs fan Keith Hartley reached to grab a foul ball during Tuesday’s Cubs-Dodgers game, yanking it away from Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, all while bottle-feeding his 7-month-old son Isaac with his other arm.

“I was just trying to protect him … I see the ball coming up, and it just kind of fell in my hand,” the father said after his bare-handed catch.

The batter, Jason Hammel, was called out because of fan interference.

Hartley’s wife, Kari, admitted in an interview with ESPN that she was worried.

"I was a little bit nervous, a little bit scared he was going to drop the baby," she said. "Fortunately, he held on tight to both the ball and Isaac, so we were OK."

Hartley said he hopes first baseman Gonzalez isn't upset.

"[Gonzalez] didn't say anything [to me]," Hartley said. "I think I turned around too quickly for him to interact with me. Hopefully, he's not too angry. He is on my fantasy team. I want to keep him happy."

Gonzalez, for his part, said he didn't think Hartley should have been ejected for interfering with a ball in play.

As for the degree of difficulty, Gonzalez said, "It would have been more impressive if the baby would have caught it."

Chicago won the game in 10 innings, 1-0.
