Foul Ball(s)!

There’s something uniquely mesmerizing about this photo. Maybe it’s the look on the guy’s face after he completely missed the ball and it hit him in the nuts — something about that look says, “Good thing I only need one.” Or maybe it’s the reaction of all the fans around the guy — I especially love the goofy look on the A.C. Slater lookalike above and to the left, not to mention the guy in the Twins gear to the far right. Maybe it’s that this pictures shows that when a ball comes in your direction, and you aren’t athletically adept at handling it, that maybe you should think about covering up something other than your face.
