Yes, baseball games are enjoyable, but if you like being close to where the action takes place, you must spend considerable time watching out for stray balls (and bats). In the attempt of watching your favorite team score a home run, you may be risking the danger of a baseball, or, if you’re extremely unlucky, even a bat, hitting you right in the face.
Just like the man in the photo below. Getting hit by a baseball is enough to ruin anyone’s game experience. But getting hit by a bat? That’s a sure trip to the hospital. We just hope this man didn’t have any serious bone fractures.
"Benjamin Button" Syndrome?
So, take a quick glimpse at this snapshot and let us know what you see. We’ll wait. Right?! There is the classic idea that a man will never grow up. They always feel like a child, deep at heart. And it's only when they look at themselves in the mirror that they realize that they are, well, older.
At first glance, it looks like this toddler has the face of an old man, and it’s really creeping us out! Thank God it’s just an optical illusion, and all we’re seeing is the back of the baby’s head in a hat, and the man’s face that’s holding him, turned slightly sideways. Phew! Some optical illusions really do a number on the mind, huh?
That's Got to Hurt!
It looks like this guy was attempting some sort of backflip or somersault into the pool. The whole thing would probably look pretty great if it worked out in his favor...but it worked out in our favor because this is one epic photo. Hopefully, he is alright though.
He must have calculated his distance from the pool all wrong for this to happen. The worst case scenario is that he landed on his face, broke his nose, blood went everywhere and quite possibly, he kicked the bucket. We doubt this photo would have even ended up online if that had happened.
Honey, I Soaked The Kid
This kid is a perfect example of not crying over spilled milk. He literally looks like he could care less that there is a mixed drink being poured onto him. Maybe he looks like he doesn’t care because he’s super comfortable on mom’s lap. Mom looks like she is very much regretting ordering a drink with sticky juice in it at this point!
Dad doesn’t know yet at this moment, but we’re sure he had a great laugh when he saw this picture. Hopefully, he didn’t see it until after that night when the kid was cleaned up and it was funny already instead of just mildly inconvenient.
She Dug that Pass
You can see the terror in her eyes as she realizes her mistake. She completely misjudged the serve and now it is on a collision course with her face. We are glad the photographer had quick fingers and captured the moment right before it made contact with the player.
There is so much emotion wrapped up in this still, and we can almost feel the sting on our faces just looking at this photo. It's like a shot from a movie, where the ball is colliding with the person's face in slow motion and all you can hear is the person slowly saying "Nooooooooooo...."
