Then perhaps you will enjoy this breakdown of that montage:

Awesome.

 

:53: A center fielder (not-so-subtly wearing No. 24) makes an over-the-shoulder catch. Not super impressive, considering he is about 40 or 50 feet shy of the warning track in front of the massive "408 ft." sign. Less "Willie Mays" and more "Willie Why the Hell Were You Playing That Shallow It's Carlos Baerga."

This is one dude celebrating scoring a run -- not even a walk-off home run, since no one else comes out of the dugout to celebrate with him -- and celebrating for possibly up to a full minute, crawling around on his knees and continually putting his helmet on and celebrating it off again. He probably got beaned in every at-bat for the rest of his career. He probably got beaned in the on-deck circle, too.

I don't know, I think it's a walk-off. You can see Sandy Alomar just roll the ball away afterward. The lack of others coming out of the dugout explains nothing, since the camera angle is from the ceiling.

 

Detective Taggert molesting that kid is frightening.

That's a swinging strike, btw.

Hahahahaaha

I love how the bat disappears at the end.

It's clearly being absorbed into his body.

Here's the video:

 

 

How the [expletive] did that get through? Is there a hole in the screen?

[Banedon]

I was like "What's the big deal?" cuz on the gif I just thought it hit the screen and she flinched. Holy [expletive] though.

@pnc_t @Deadspin hit her in the shoulder. She cried a bit and got an ice pack from usher. Guy who found the ball gave it to her

 

So it looks like the ball hit the net, broke through, but changed angle when it did so, and hit her shoulder. So the net still probably saved her life.

[Sammy Sofa]

So is that potentially different in terms of liability from other areas of the ballpark? Everywhere else would be covered by all of the warnings to watch out for bats and balls, but does the presence of the screen/net change that for people in those seats? Basically I'm asking if she would have a case if she tried to sue.

Nope. There is a general assumption of risk throughout ballparks insofar as "game dangers" are concerned.

What if the net had already been damaged/faulty before the game and they didn't do anything to fix it?

No idea how to post the actual gif on the board, but I figured you guys would like this one...

Any context for that gift? Reason for the intense batflip?

[Careless]

come on, where's the one of Barney and Shark leaping into each other while the ball rolls away?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

David Ortiz goes apeshit and tries to murder Dustin Pedroia. Luckily he hit the bullpen phone instead.
