Plus is was a soccer ball in the clip.
Same short hand everywhere.
One legged woman? Yeah, I know her. She works at I-Hop...
How does she have a “Right” black eye, when she was beaned on the left rear side of her noggin..?
That ain’t her?
I hope she’s okay.
Oh and not guilty.
5.56mm
Ha ha! Same here! I remember my Dad telling us that joke, but it was more like 40-45 years ago. LOL!
“That’s a soccer ball in that clip.”
Wholly crap, I obviously didn’t pay attention to the ball. I was looking at something else, hehehe
Staged, or CGI?
A baseball field is a dangerous place, especially when there are professional hitters at work. If she was interviewing or something while hitters were hitting need to station a flunky with a glove for protection.
Did we all have the same dad and family??? We also would do the whole "Would I" and "Hairlip" thing constantly after dad told us that joke.
Strange things can happen to a skull involved in trauma.
The skull is a remarkable protective organ, but when it fails, it doesn’t follow the same organized rules that it follows when it functions correctly.
It goes to hell in a handbasket once it fails.
I shudder when I see someone hit by an object like a bat, ball, puck or whatever, but that is a hazard. I have often observed that hockey fans seemed to be less sympathetic when someone gets brained by an errant puck. I was one of them, and felt they shouldn’t have had their face down in their phone.
But I came to accept the fact that you could simply have your head turned to talk to a friend and catch one. Of course some of us would have STILL said “Ya shoulda been watching the game.”
I’ve remembered that joke too, from high school.
It had legs, didn’t it?
Well, my Dad was pretty funny.
Although....
I don’t remember him being around much.../S
Maybe we are related...
Kinda makes me think that dads were the social media back in the day. No internet. Long distance phone calls expensive. They would go to work and learn these jokes from other dads and repeat them to their kids....that's how stuff like that spread.
Cards had an OF get hit in the eye socket by a foul ball while waiting in on deck circle a few years back. Zilch reaction time available there. It damaged his eyeball and ended his career.
“IMO < the woman is lucky to be alive.”
A neighbor and fellow baseball playing guy in high school pitched very fast. Tall thin left-hander.
So fast, he hit his younger brother in the head and killed him. True story.
An awful thing to have to live with.
As a former college baseball player, I’d jump on it like a hanging curve ball!
Hell, I’d hit it while she was in the hospital, just cover up the bad eye. I don’t think my wife is on here.
I have seen tons of bad ones. I caught one in the forehead that glance off my glove at second base, you could see the stitches on the ball for a month. The worst ones were the grounders that took a bad bounce, and came up and hit your cup from underneath. I had one that really scared me when I was playing in college, passed pure blood for a few days.
In those days, I sure didn’t want to lose the use of anything down there for long.
Yes, I’m sure it would be. How tragic...
I felt bad enough when I would wing someone when pitching softball.
Had a ball hit so hard directly at me on a line drive, all I could do is reposition my chest a few inches. The ball hit me, and I caught it on the rebound.
I was closer than regulation and I was just sending soft pitches over so they could hit it, and this guy teed off on it and sent right back to me.
I had seams and stitches showing on my chest for two weeks. I don’t know how, but a heavy duty watch band was mangled in the process.
Glad that injury didn’t affect you long-term. I’m sure it was scary.
I found that moving toward the ball helped quite a bit to keep me off my heels.
When using even a short stride, you’re a bit better covered down there than you would be if you were set waiting for it.
I’m pretty sure there would be coaches and other players that would say that isn’t the best way to play the infield.
At third and short, movement toward the infield also gives you a boost throwing to first.
