Guy in blue and guy in red are definitely Jedi.

I won free tickets to the local ball park in grade school for having good grades. My parents bought two extra tickets for one of the games for a family outing. The other game, my dad took me. I hated baseball, but I got to spend time with my dad, and he bought me snacks from the vendor, which was fun. That was one of the few times we actually enjoyed being together. At any rate, had smartphones been a thing then, I'd have had my nose stuck in it like this kid.

That is parent I nstinct. No thought. Just action. My kids are grown and gone and I still fling my arm over the passenger seat if I have to stop short.

The red guy is using the force to stop the bat.

Hero dad!

Lol everyone ASSUMES dad saved the day.. maybe you're right But look at the seat next to the kid- vacant with what looks like a jacket or something "holding" the seat What if "dad" was taking a whiz and this guy is just a Good Samaritan?? ... lol something to consider

Bro code dictates that we look out for one another.

Dad doing a dad thing. Love to see it. Suffer a bruised arm for a while rather than see your kid suffer from a bashed face.

This kid and his father got so lucky. It hurts to think of the damage that could have been done to that kid's face and skull

The kid was on his phone at a ball game with his Dad. Glad Dad wasn't on his phone while at the ball game with his kid.

Good work dad!

And WHOA!

When a Saturday afternoon at the park becomes X-treme Sports Event.

Well-done!

I bet that left a bruise.

Always watch the field. Always. Be like Scruffy Man.

Wow! Saved the kid from a worse injury. The article from 2016 said they are bruised but OK.

Nice save

Super Quick w/the adrenaline rush to save his child Been there. I heard gravel moving I out the window...sure enough. I raced out the front door of the house flew off porch over the shrubs to catch a car going backward down a driveway thru the yard over some young trees and bushes, in and out of a 3 ft. ditch like it was nothing, across the road and I got in and stopped in when it was beginning to go down an embankment to the river. I was able to open the door, get in, put my foot on the brakes, put it in gear, drove it back across the street, into the driveway and turn it off. I got out of the car my legs buckled I fell to the ground and just bawled. You know it wasn't just a car, it was my 18 mo. little girl. I was angry at myself, I hadn't listened to the little whisper "turn off the car" inside me "just to get gas card" I listen, I do. She is 43, I'm 64 just diagnosed w/Autism.

Great Dad!

I don't understand why people are on their phones at sporting events. It would be so much more fun to be off the phone and into the game. There's a rhythm and a whole atmosphere when you pay attention. Send money to go to a game and then spend all your time on the phone? That's crazy.

Who would blindly swing a bat around?

Once again, a child distracted from what's happening around them in real time by a stupid cell phone. This one almost ended up in the Darwin Awards...

Teach the kid to pay attention, you paid for his ticket.
