Ex-NFL QB snags foul ball from Dodgers player in Tokyo

by March 19, 2025

During Wednesday’s Dodgers-Cubs game at the Tokyo Dome, Los Angeles third baseman Max Muncy reached over the netting to try catching a foul ball, but it landed in the glove of a spectator instead.

That fan? Former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete.

Peete, whose son RJ is a clubhouse attendant for the Dodgers, coolly made the grab in the stands – while Muncy was frustrated he couldn’t secure the catch. Replays showed that the ball had missed Muncy’s glove before Peete made the play.

Peete played in the NFL from 1989 to 2004 with the Lions, Cowboys, Eagles, Washington, Raiders and Panthers. A multi-sport athlete in high school and college at Southern California, Peete was selected in the Major League Baseball draft four times (1984, 1988, 1989 and 1990) but chose to stick with football.

Peete’s wife Holly Robinson-Peete, an actress and singer, took to Instagram to share video of the encounter and apologize to Muncy, noting that the foul ball ‘was coming straight for my head!’

Peete, who also works for the Dodgers’ radio station AM 570 LA, said fans in the area he was seated were given gloves and helmets because of the low netting.

The Dodgers won the game 6-3, taking both contests against the Cubs in Tokyo to open the 2025 MLB season.
