Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Goddammit, it's always a frikkin advert.

How could you not know it was an advertisement? Or at least staged? I mean, why on earth would they have an interview on the infield during batting practice?

I liked it better when he force pulled it into his hand from like 10 feet away.

[–]DontCallMeSurely- 20 points21 points ago

not sure if "whoosh" but...

many line drives hook through the air like that

[–]superppl 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It sort of teleported across those last 10 feet. The only explanation I could think of was that he force pulled it, but turns out it was edited. :/

[–]xin_kuzi 2 points3 points ago

I thought it was fake. However...

My dad did this when I was in little league (prob 7th grade kids). Except it was from much closer. A few friends and I were being stupid kids, hitting some balls, in between games, in between two fields (which means spectators were not protected by fence). Someone cracked a line drive right to a parent's head (about 15 feet away). My dad grabbed it out of the air with one hand, right before it hit someone's mom in the temple. It all happened in the blink of an eye. My dad was the coach of my team. Everyone was in awe. I was proud.

I bet he got his socks fucked off later, too.

Haha... I had to think about what that meant for a second there. I will remember this for later.

Wow that was close, as close as the shave you get with a Gillette brand razor!

I hope you're not forgetting to use Gillette ProGlide Irritation Defense Shave Gel! The less friction, the smoother the ride! Gillette - the best a man can get!

Although this is fake, he did make that sweet double play landing on the third base bag after having caught a ball and getting the dude that only had a small lead out.

[–]sil3ntgh0st 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because I remember this play and enjoyed it as much as you, I wanted to share the video with everyone else.

[–]SophisticatedVagrant 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I love how the guy who was on third just stands there for a good few seconds like 'Well, fuck.'

I thought the point of this was that his name was dangerously close to hers

I was wrong.

I had a little league coach do this legit. Foul ball went straight at his head (goddamn fast, too), he jerked sideways out of the way, throws up his hand and catches it. Coolest moment of my little league career.

[–]internet-arbiter -1 points0 points ago

closest thing thats happen to me was driving on the freeway when i see a plastic bag blowing towards me. Right before it blows in I reach out and grab it. Not a hard baseball but getting a bag to the face at 75 mph on a busy freeway would still suck.

What if the bad is covered in honey. Didnt think of that.

[–]internet-arbiter 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

... so what a potential road hazard was more hazardous? A "bag" covered in honey would be quite sticky and pose more of a problem then the initial bag.

I love how right after the ball is hit, you can see it split into two balls...

This would have been totally believable if he looked before he stuck his hand out.

[–]Rubix89 3 points4 points ago

I choose to believe it's real. Only because I refuse to accept this new form of subliminal advertising.

[–]4se -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not real, if you look close in some of the videos you can see the guy hits a line drive carefully towards third and it still gets to the base like 3x faster than the fake one.

[–]Rubix89 0 points1 point ago

I just can't stand behind the point of this video. Using cool fake footage to subliminally sell a product.

You can see the real ball get hit to right field. They came out with a bunch of football and baseball videos like that. There may be other sports too.

EDIT: Left field. It's a line drive towards third base.

[–]AntiZombieDelta 0 points1 point ago

That was my first thought too was that its either fake or this chick is stone cold badass. She didn't even blink.
