Little Girl Who Tossed Baseball Talks

Emily Monforto, the 3-year-old who tossed back her dad's foul-ball catch at the Phillies game on Tuesday, got a chance to tell her side of the story. While her take on what happened is a bit different than what the video showed -- she claims the ball dropped, we saw a deliberate throw -- she's still as cute as could be.

Apparently, the front-office staff of the Philadelphia Phillies agreed. They gave her a new ball, which she's not letting go of anytime soon, said Vince Lattanzio, editor at NBCPhiladelphia.com, whose station nabbed this exclusive interview with the little lass. Emily's dad, Steve Monforto had never caught a foul ball before, Vince told us. What Steve did capture however, are the hearts of parents nationwide, when he hugged his baby girl after her spontaneous throw.

We hear that this was Emily's sixth Phillies game, but we suspect that this little incident will make long-term fans out of the now famous Laurel Springs, NJ family.

Emily demonstrated that same overhand throwing motion that she displayed at Tuesday's Phillies game. Could an MLB contact be far behind?
