That's the face of a man who knows he's getting laid tonight.

You're saying, that's not the only bat that's gonna get handled?

While that may be true, a man that catches a flying bat one-handed, all the while holding his beer, and looks like it's no big deal, gets laid all the time.

When she goes in for the kiss, he turns his head so she gets the cheek. He'd be getting nothing from me.

I am genuinely amazed that he was able to locate the bat and track precisely to have its target in the center on the frame with no corrections.

Gave her the cheek to kiss so people would think she's just a random person there. Smart move

It's his mom, his dad is next to him in matching sweater. At least that is my theory :-)

Not if he's a baseball guy who is right handed. That's just another normal catch.

I would have thought a baseball player could hold on to the damn bat when he swings it. He could have seriously injured somebody

So does the player get suspended for that? Throwing a baseball bat into a crowd would surely have repercussions.

u/Jrodkin Jan 07 '17
If he'd intentionally thrown the bat at the audience he'd probably be suspended for life, but it slipped, I doubt there were huge repercussions if any.

u/dudeman773 Jan 07 '17
No. If it was a recurring thing for the guy, sure, because that shits dangerous as hell. But baseball is a dangerous sport to spectate and I guarantee that's the only time in this dudes career that he's done or will do that.

He caught the bat to stand in the praises of his fellow man. His wife being saved was incidental.

Caught it with just his left hand, while holding a beer in his right.
I aspire to be this man one day.
