I think the best part is the oblivious ginger child in at the bottom.

[–]juicy-tomato 257 points258 points ago

or the dude in the background with the soda cup who's thinking "yeaha, this is my kinda thing to watch"

[–]J1P3A 74 points75 points ago

He reminds me of this guy who I guess is thinking "Aaaawww yeeeaahhh! I'm glad I brought my popcorn for this!!"

[–]thugmonkey 18 points19 points ago

Dis gonna be good!

[–]rutroraggy 1 point2 points ago

Thats Will Ferrell

[–]nerocycle 74 points75 points ago

It's gotta be a toss-up between Man Getting Hit In Face By Baseball Bat and Man Watching Man Getting Hit In Face By Baseball Bat.

[–]mrplatypusthe42nd 211 points212 points ago

I prefer the baby that's all like "I got this"

[–]lickwid 45 points46 points ago

Whilst looking in the wrong direction, so classic. Personally my fav, is the lady protecting her food.

[–]Skyeblade 38 points39 points ago

The kid right behind the baseball bat is my favourite. That face is priceless

[–]Urban_Savage 45 points46 points ago

I think its funny that everyone managed to get their arms up except the guy that actually took the hit. He must not have seen that shit coming at all.

[–]lickwid 30 points31 points ago

Kind of looks like Clint Eastwood from "Gran Torino". He is actually sacrificing himself, in an almost pointless way, to save the small child behind him.

[–]gristc 23 points24 points ago

Using only his chin. My kind of hero.

[–]TheWorldEndsWithCake 22 points23 points ago

Clint Eastwood actually being the mild mannered alter-ego of The Crimson Chin!

[–]thatguyferg 1 point2 points ago

Dude should learn from lady attempting to use some sort of magic spell to repel the bat.

[–]Joshua8195 1 point2 points ago

Damn I didnt even see him before you said this.

[–]Blarg44 7 points8 points ago

I enjoy speculating whether the woman next to her can actually see through those sunglasses.

[–]Rudy_Kazootie 34 points35 points ago

Would you people stop distracting me? I'm trying to find Waldo.

[–]Colten95 9 points10 points ago

Whilst her dad protects himself and not the baby

[–]nerocycle 4 points5 points ago

It's even better because she's looking in the wrong direction. Perhaps there's something no one else sees.

Aliens? Aliens.

[–]bigroblee 2 points3 points ago

Whilst dad makes no effort to protect the child.

ಠ_ಠ

[–]vitaminD3 39 points40 points ago

[–]Jack_Thee_Fapper 18 points19 points ago

He's high as fuck

[–]slapded 2 points3 points ago

just watch. he will react. many hours later.. but its coming

[–]omni_wisdumb 49 points50 points ago

OR.... the father whom instead of shielding his baby with his body is leaning away to expose it. lol

[–]Shellasaurus 8 points9 points ago

Every time I see this picture I want to point this out and forget. I'm so proud of you.

[–]bullyforme 1 point2 points ago

The fact that he just dropped the baby is good too. Cause she is definitely freefalling.

[–]l1fel0ver 67 points68 points ago

Idk man, that other girl above her is about to fly

[–]kancas 54 points55 points ago

“I must go, my planet needs me”

[–]HurinLinux 29 points30 points ago

Some jerk is trying to hold her down.

[–]antonehenry 13 points14 points ago

She believes she can fly....

[–]I_SHANK_WAFFLES 8 points9 points ago

But there's a guy above him about to fire a haduken

[–]chief_shankaho 11 points12 points ago

it looks like in all the commotion she found jesus

[–]I_Wont_Draw_That 30 points31 points ago

My favorite part is the little girl, who is obviously too young to understand what's going on, holding up her arms in imitation of everyone around her. Just super cute.

[–]WeWereInfinite 37 points38 points ago

Her face is priceless, it's like she's seen into the future and knows that only pain and despair awaits our dying world but she's too young to express the suffering she's seen so she just stares off into the distance, possibly reaching out for some unknown hand to guide her.

Or she's just shat her pants.

[–]verinwolf 18 points19 points ago

I think it`s the fact you can actually see his jaw breaking from the impact or at least dislocating

[–]Paulus81 17 points18 points ago

I mean he is the only person that didn't react. He just appears to have sat there and watched the bat shatter his jaw.

[–]JoelMontgomery 18 points19 points ago

What. A. Badass.

[–]AmandaMarie7989 22 points23 points ago

What. A. Batass.

[–]gguy123 1 point2 points ago

He didn't even raise his hands. While the kid behind apparently sees the end of the world coming.

[–]TheThirdWheel 4 points5 points ago

Funny enough he had a broken rib, not jaw.

[–]humongous 1 point2 points ago

oh my god man, I am laughing my arse off right now

[–]nj12 5 points6 points ago

I like the lady in the pink striped shirt and sunglasses. It looks like she's eating popcorn while enjoying the show.

[–]Die_antwoord 3 points4 points ago

The guy at the top in the light blue shirt trying to do the Kamehameha to save the guy from getting hit in the face but failing is pretty good too.

[–]audtheotter 1 point2 points ago

I kinda like the baby who looks like she's posing for a dramatic scene haha

[–]ChumleeWumlee 1 point2 points ago

No fucks we're given by that little ginger.

[–]InstigatorNY 3 points4 points ago

That is obviously because gingers know that bats cannot hit those with no souls.

[–]OrenYarok 3 points4 points ago

No soul, no worries.

[–]mocotazo 1 point2 points ago

[–]nenmu 132 points133 points ago

Guy in the baby blue shirt... "HADOOKEN!"

[–]RascarCapat 23 points24 points ago

My favorite is the Gollum like kid protecting his head behind the baseball bat. he was the last i saw, he became instantly my fav.

[–]gguy123 1 point2 points ago

The lady in pink eating something.. not a care in the world.

[–]Vtreka 3 points4 points ago

This was the first thing I saw. When in danger, go back to your street fighter roots!!

[–]BSinDC 1 point2 points ago

Came here to upvote that comment. Well played sir

[–]BatmansBxtch 35 points36 points ago

That one guy went with the "save-yourself-sacrifice-your-daughter" method.

[–]gamerman191 6 points7 points ago

I think that baby wanted a bat and the father was just obliging with her wishes. What we didn't see is that a couple of seconds later the baby is crying because she didn't get a bat.

[–]gingersluck 36 points37 points ago

POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER!

[–]Copulate1364 104 points105 points ago

Looks like he should have been sitting next to this guy.

[–]TheThirdWheel 106 points107 points ago

Man how many people did that black guy attack with that bat before they stopped him?

[–]sharkrebellion 24 points25 points ago

not a single drop spilled.

[–]Volkamar 4 points5 points ago

That's how you reach absolute balance in life. This guy will go far I think.

[–]njhCasper 1 point2 points ago

[–]thersoiv 5 points6 points ago

I need to start drinking Red Stripe apparently.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Hahaha. That's great PR/ad opportunity for Red Stripe.

[–]bigroblee 6 points7 points ago

Only black guy in the crowd, displays great athletic ability; way to bolster the stereotypes, jerk!

[–]viscence 8 points9 points ago

There are a surprising number of visible feet in this picture.

[–]joshawwa 8 points9 points ago

I see one shoe and one sandal, with about half a foot exposed. That is surprising?

[–]1stGenRex 1 point2 points ago

They looked pretty surprised that he would be throwing a bat, at a baseball game...I'd be pretty concerned too.

[–]mebbee 1 point2 points ago

I think it's funny how the white guy wearing shades has his hand gripped like he's going to catch it, and what looks like his two buddies are cringing with their feet in the air.

[–]iGotChubs4You 101 points102 points ago

I love how the only person who is hit by the bat is also the only person not trying to avoid it.

[–]damob91 104 points105 points ago

I think those two things are correlated!

[–]eljeanboul 15 points16 points ago

Yeah bats are vicious bastards

[–]legendaris 18 points19 points ago

Pretty sure the ginger girl at the bottom is not giving any fucks about being hit.

[–]Absolutedisgrace 8 points9 points ago

Dude at the top is having the time of his life.

[–]OCedHrt 1 point2 points ago

There's also the lady eating her popcorn. But I guess she's just watching the show.

[–]replyramdas 1 point2 points ago

I think the guy in the black too is not defending :) But awesome inference

[–]Chef_Brokentoe 88 points89 points ago

Each time I thought I located the best expression/pose, I looked around for 5 more seconds and found something even better.

Eventually that did end though and at that point I typed this up. So I guess I am a liar.

[–]HappyDays7 14 points15 points ago

Which one did you settle on?

[–]RNRSaturday 34 points35 points ago

Don't trust him. He's a liar.

[–]stitch_the_cat 4 points5 points ago

A phony, a big fat phony

[–]Theladd21 1 point2 points ago

[–]kleptophobiac 18 points19 points ago

Damn, that's hospitalized.

[–]jctims1519 16 points17 points ago

why is no one protecting the baby????

[–]ML4321 15 points16 points ago

Because 'Merica that's why

[–]ShadowAssassinQueef 7 points8 points ago

Because in America people don't protect babies.

[–]BobbyDewese 2 points3 points ago

It's the flight passenger protection policy, you must protect yourself and ensure personal safety, so that, when you are okay, you may help the children.

[–]partyplatypus 1 point2 points ago

No we don't because of the government's fascist policies and their inhibition of attempts for universal healthcare. I can't wait to move to Sweden where I can be with others as educated as myself.

[–]scoyne15 11 points12 points ago

All i can see is that jaw getting pulverized.

Gah.

[–]gideonhalo 35 points36 points ago

Anyone else keep scrolling back to the top to look at the picture over and over as they read comments? Just me eh?

[–]EleventhSimulation 13 points14 points ago

"open link in a new window" is your friend.

[–]WoodenGiraffe 10 points11 points ago

If you were to take out the guy getting hit with the bat i'd guess that everyone was being forced at gunpoint to do jazz-hands.

[–]reelando 7 points8 points ago

Exactly two people give no fucks, exactly one baby wants that damn bat.

[–]SmellyFace 7 points8 points ago

The little girl in the front row looks like she's counting to potato.

[–]Elguybrush 37 points38 points ago

[–]FartOnToast 3 points4 points ago

I was actually waiting for this.

[–]Arockilla 4 points5 points ago

The ginger staring into the parking lot is priceless...

[–]Drunken_Economist 26 points27 points ago

The guy in the top right wearing the black shirt has the greatest expression ever.

[–]HappyDays7 25 points26 points ago

Nice try, guy in the top right wearing the black shirt.

[–]daisygamble 9 points10 points ago

redditor.

[–]Alexbo8138 4 points5 points ago

I think that the guy getting hit by the baseball bat has a better expression.

[–]advicevice 17 points18 points ago

I posted this mashup the other day in another hit by bat picture.

DEY BROKE 'IS JAW!

[–]alienbringer 3 points4 points ago

I went through a lot of comments but could not find the answer to this. What phone is the woman in red using to protect herself? I swear it looks almost like a Nokia. If so that is the best form of protection ANYONE in that picture is using to stop the bat.

[–]bob_mcbob 9 points10 points ago

“Bat Out Of Hell” A bat slips from the grasp of Cleveland Indians batter Kelly Shoppach (not pictured) and flies into the crowd during the game against the Texas Rangers at Ameriquest Field in Arlington, Texas, Sunday, September 3, 2006. The fan who was hit suffered a broken rib. The Rangers beat the Indians, 5-2.

[–]TAFK 19 points20 points ago

a broken rib? um ... what?

[–]RNRSaturday 16 points17 points ago

Wtf is his rib doing in his jaw? Silly rib.

[–]Xuttuh 14 points15 points ago

All together now, sing: The jaw bone's connected to the rib bone...

[–]SilasYEAH 3 points4 points ago

Man I received a baseball bat to the neck once.

We weren't playing a game, just shooting some balls into the distance at this summer camp thingy, my friend swings his bat, he swings it really hard and let's it go (I'm standing about 2 meters away from him).

Anyways the bat must've been spinning so hard in mid-air that I didn't see it anymore and I actually had the time to say "Where the hell did the bat go?" when I finished the sentence the bat hit me in the neck so hard it knocked me out.

I couldn't move my head for like 3 days. Damn that was painfull.

[–]humongous 1 point2 points ago

dude that sounds rough

you must be the batman

are you the batman?

[–]DERPFUCKER 2 points3 points ago

she's had enough time its ok for her to go

[–]skilledpringle 2 points3 points ago

i'd like to know what the little girls looking at down the bottom I mean there's a bat flying in her direction

[–]KickTheEmoKid 2 points3 points ago

I love the guy at the top with the black shirt. His expression is so epic.

[–]Simatic7 2 points3 points ago

This is one of the first things I have seen on reddit. It is repost, but I have to say, I again was laughing so hard I woke my wife up.

[–]TheMediumPanda 2 points3 points ago

European here (we don't know shit or care about baseball). I have a stupid question: These kinds of pics are from the batter losing his grip and not someone throwing the bats right?

[–]docroberts 2 points3 points ago

yes

[–]FWS02 2 points3 points ago

This is all I see when I look at this picture.

[–]PerfectAlias 15 points16 points ago

[–]BrandonSullivan 1 point2 points ago

Zero fucks were given by multiple people

[–]Duct0r_ 1 point2 points ago

So that guy probably got hurt really badly, but god damn that picture is hilarious.

Also, lol at the kid right behind the bat.

[–]drausten 1 point2 points ago

Just because he has a face tumor the shape of a bat doesn't make you better than him.

[–]Gravyness 1 point2 points ago

Blue shirt dude doing a Hadouken

[–]ClampingNomads 1 point2 points ago

There's something about this that reminds me a bit of Raphael but I'm not sure why. Probably the expression of the kid in the pink top, and the way everything appears set out, tableaux-esque.

That's my pretentious statement for the day. Anyone got any dick jokes?

[–]J1P3A 1 point2 points ago

I'm OK with this repost. Love it!!

[–]iAmJawshh 1 point2 points ago

I recently read the article behind this picture, can't remember where though. It was linked when this picture was posted here before..

But the only injury sustained by the man being hit by the bat was a broken rib. I wat'd the fuck all over the place when I read that.

[–]Azureheart 1 point2 points ago

Nice. Should keep it as a SUEvenir.

BUH-DUM-CHH!

[–]ElectricTeenageDust 1 point2 points ago

I like the kid in the blue shirt, behind the bat. He's like "OH MY GOD, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

[–]FuckingHippies 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, there is so many things.

[–]OEFvet 1 point2 points ago

[–]TazzelDazzle 1 point2 points ago

Best part is the baby tripping hard on shrooms.

[–]SeamusTheDog 1 point2 points ago

Take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and break my jaw. I don't care if I ever wake up... Let me phst, phst, phst as I spit out my teeth. If I can't ever eat solid food it's a shame. For it's one, two, ok just one baseball bat that can ruin your whole day.

[–]EmpyralT 1 point2 points ago

The ginger girl in the bottom corner has the "Me Gusta" face. Must've been planned.
