Video: Former NFL QB Rodney Peete Catches Foul Ball in Front of Max Muncy in Japan

In a game that saw Rōki Sasaki make his MLB debut and Shohei Ohtani homer, former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete had arguably the highlight moment in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 6-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.

Peete, who was in the stands down the third base line at the Tokyo Dome, caught a foul ball off the bat of Cubs left fielder Ian Happ in the bottom of the sixth inning that Max Muncy nearly stole with a terrific diving play over the netting.

There are plenty of things to react to here, not least of which is Peete came to the game with a glove. He knew exactly where his seat was and wanted to be prepared if the opportunity to snag a ball came his way.

The other key takeaway is Peete's reaction after catching the ball. While most people would be celebrating getting a souvenir from a historic sporting event, he just casually dropped his glove to his side and gave a little look to Muncy.

Peete does have a background in baseball. He was a two-sport athlete in college at USC from 1985 to '88, playing second base, third base and shortstop. The Arizona native hit .338/.419/.642 with 12 homers in just 40 games.

One of his teammates on the 1988 USC team was former MLB All-Star Bret Boone. The Trojans advanced to the regional final in the NCAA tournament, losing to No. 1 seed Fresno State.

MLB teams tried to sway Peete away from football. He was drafted four different times between 1984 and '90, including twice by the Oakland A's in 1988 and '89.

Peete probably made the right choice to stick with football. He had a 15-year career in the NFL with six different teams, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to the playoffs in 1995 after taking over for Randall Cunningham.

Even though Peete never got to challenge himself against professional pitching, he did create one of the best early-season highlights for MLB while getting a souvenir for himself.
