George C Scott in Man Getting Hit By Baseball

This is the unquestionable winner. Perhaps the tourney favorite. Such a perfect sequence of events, as detailed by Mr. Bois, but you missed the very first deflection off the bicep of the faceless fan to the right that set everything in motion. This is like one of those perfect astronomical alignings that happens once in a lifetime.
