Let’s see him do it with grapefruit!

Another dude trying for the record books, but this one is kind of amusing. 

He specializes in catching grapes in his mouth. This time he is attempting to catch a whole lot of them, but he also holds the world record for catching a grape from an aircraft, achieving the throw-run catch record, and the Super Bowl of grape catching - catching a grape from the top of the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas. 

The only down side is, he has to go through life being called Steve ‘The Grape Guy’ Spalding.  Here is Rough Cut Video of The Grape Guy in action:

I doubt that’s the only down side.
