When you attend a baseball game the only thing you should worry about is overpriced food, but unfortunately that’s not always the case as a ball or a bat can come flying at you at any moment. And that’s exactly what happened to one kid who was completely distracted by his phone.
In a fantastic photo taken by Pittsburgh Tribune-Review photographer Christopher Horner, you can see the exact moment a father reaches out his hand in time to deflect an oncoming bat that was headed toward his son’s face. Take a look at the photo below:

That kid was so busy looking up boobs that he was almost knocked out:

The least this kid can do now is pay for his own college.
