Yeah cause we all have superhuman reflexes to catch a speeding ball coming right at us out of nowhere

[smallzabe]

Ron nailed it. That dad went the opposite direction that most normal dads would go. Left his kid wide open as he flinched like a baby. I am willing to bet that bat is hanging up in dads law firm office right now

[ericbrooking]

The Mets just moved up a few notches in my book with that. Way to go Mets, awesome!

[halibutnutz]

Who was that announcer at the end, are you kidding me

[RandomGUY-jhhf]

Bro if he was to catch a speeding ball, sitting at the front, he would be playing instead.

[ronnynorthington]

I love it when players do stuff like this, right on "Mets"

[bigjuice]

[tqtzhlx]

[roznet]
