BUT WHY IS SHE LAUGHING...AND CLAPPING
I once missed a pitch when I was warming up a minor league (not AA or AAA) pitcher and I flat missed the ball. I was 9.
Goose egg. Big time above my right eye smack in the middle of my forehead. I caught in the game though my catcher's mask strap hurt the bump. I went home after the game with the big knot.
I wasn't sure my mom was ever going to allow me to play baseball anymore. But she did. And it never happened again.
So I understand how the fan missed the foul ball. Believe me, no one felt worse about it than he. But why is the girl seated behind him so exuberant about the incident? I mean, she's looking right at him. She sees it. She's even going to text someone about it.
I'm not sure about the guy next to him either. He's turned away but seems to be eyeing the girl and may just be sharing in her elation. What gives?
Or is it just me. Over analyzing again. I'm sure the photographer was focused on the ball and the fan. I mean that's what makes it a picture, but background is important, too, and in this case, to me at least, overshadows the main event.
