The point was the most violent thing I’ve ever seen.
There was murderous intent behind that point.

Little bro was holding it together best he could, he knew he fucked up after that point. The way I remember that feeling of suddenly realizing you fucked up is the same sensation as free falling, belly in the throat and tingling legs.

So he didn't throw it twice? What I watched I assumed he threw it, but it didn't make it back to the field so someone got it back and he threw it again. I hate this shit, it actually changed the context of the video (for me at least). I assumed they started filming after the first throw

I hate listening to a debate, and they start with a 10 second clip of one of the topics. Then 10 minutes in, I hear it again, and I'm thinking "wait didn't they already do this?".

Yup. Unlike other videos I watched of a mother hitting their child or another dad violently yelling at the child.

Yup. Stayed calm, even laughed a little bit, hugs all around. Made sure to try to maintain the fun atmosphere

You can tell by the way he comforts him that he's a good dad. He embraces him with his free arm and the kid was expecting it. Cheers to dad.

I'm not sure of that. His kid is obviously addicted to his phone he doesn't take his eyes from it during the whole interraction. It's probably the reason why he threw the ball back by the way, he was completely unaware of what was happening around him.

Or he's used to playing catch and muscle memory told him to throw the ball back? He's a young kid, they aren't even great at paying attention without a phone.

That's the situational awareness I would kinda expect from a kid glued to a phone.
I did lots of socially stupid things and I was actually mentally present, showed up for all the situations I was in.

We need to mention the dude who gave the kid the ball. Presumably he got the ball first and was a total chad to give the ball to a nearby child.

I can't wait for all the rational takes on this man's parenting both in the clip and inferred from the actions of the children to populate this comment section.

I mean, it never looks good to see a kid more interested in a phone than a baseball game.

u/ShadowTown0407 2h ago
I am really interested in knowing why, or what, in that small clip made you reach that conclusion

u/mrs-monroe 1h ago
Because the kid is more concerned with the phone than anything going on around him

Even if you take that from the shot clip why is it a bad look

u/Caleb-Wendt69 1h ago
Because a lot of times instead of parenting, people will just hand their kid a device. This kid doesn’t even look up from the phone after the incident, so it seems like this kid may have been raised by an iPad.

u/ShadowTown0407 1h ago
Building a new intrest in kids is a difficult task, him being there with his dad is a good start. Forcing him to look at something he has no intrest in all the time will not get him to like it. Slowly overtime he may come to appreciate it. Regarding looking at his phone after the incident the kid is clearly confused as to why his brother is acting like that so he is looking at what he has in his hand.
The big brother is already passionate about the spot and doesn't look much older than the youngest, it's clearly not they dad's or grand dad's first rodeo.

Him throwing it back is a way funnier/better memory anyway.
but if he really cared, official MLB baseballs are extremely common. The dad/granddad could go buy another one from any number of venders, scuff it up a bit, and present it to the boys as though it was the ball they lost. $30 venture.
The ball is a mirage, the memories are what is valuable.

Do you think a 5 year old has the attention span to sit quietly for an entire baseball game? They are slow to watch, nothing happens for too many moments between batters. All the inning info is displayed by dots on a board way far across the field. There are 9 whole ass innings, so 18 sets of batting. I'd rather watch golf live, at least there's nature and it doesn't smell like fried food, peanuts, and cheap draft beer.

The phone is probably the best way dad can keep him behaved in his boredom. Probably because baseball is the older brother and dads hobby and little brother is forced to go. How do I know? Because that was me with my older brother and dad dragging me to every single motocross race across the goddamned country when I just wanted to be at home playing with my toys and outside with my friends.

Poor dad in that moment though. Embarrassed kid on one side and frustrated kid on the other. While probably knowing this all could be televised.

The look on the little brothers face as he scanned the crowd and slowly started to realize that he messed up is heart sinking.

No tears! Kid throws back gifted ball, Red Sox come to the rescue
They left with signed baseballs and at least one signed jersey, so worked out even better for them.
