Awesome series of events leads to a fruit punch bath:

Did the ball hit a bird and ricochet?

No, but it's a crazy optical illusion caused by those criss-crossing bars beyond the fence.

[OleMissCub]

I think it's just a crappy frame rate on that gif making the ball's movement look funny.

That kid with the solo cup is wasted.

That's a few weeks old. And from a different angle the ball was actually like 5 feet behind him.

Still think it's fake; guys getting drilled in the head usually don't even have time to react, yet he has time for a reaction like that and it's that close to him?

[OleMissCub]

Yet plenty of pitchers catch comebackers. It depends upon the speed obviously.

 

Something does look askew with the flight path of the ball. Could just be a missing frame in the gif or something.

 

I'm gonna submit that it's real for one main reason: Why would anyone go to the trouble to fake that?

[Sammy Sofa]

Why would anyone go to the trouble of faking most of the [expletive] that's faked on the internet?

 

It looks like the ball slows down when it passes his head before speeding back up.

[OleMissCub]

Aside from the stop-motion effect after it passes his head, what bothers me is the trajectory of the ball as it enters the frame. It appears that it enters the frame on a slightly downward plane. If a ball was elevated enough to be at the height of his head it should still be rising.

 

back and to the left...

Nope. Saw it replayed on WGN before a commercial break a couple weeks go. Surprised I'm the first to say it.

The background is left field, which means it was taken from in front of him down the first base line, and that means by the time you can see the ball in this picture it's already past him.

I thought it was Loria trying to fight off Miami fans for a second.

 

OK, not really, but the guy does look like Loria.

WGN is a cheapass house of lies.

The reveal on that one was fantastic. I could watch this all night.

Bonus points for that being the game tying run going home as that happens
