Assists in baseball aren’t a fancy stat, but Shin Bon-Ki of the Lotte Gaints in the KBO League (the highest level of baseball in South Korea) had one you won’t forget — though he might.
How to use your head in baseball, or, ‘Boop!’
Boopity, boop, boop!
Bon-Ki took one off the noggin’, and it ended up in left fielder Jeon Joon-Woo’s glove for the out:
[some dumb joke about using your head]
That’s a good boop.
We can call this one a boop, because it seemed that Bon-Ki’s head absorbed a lot of the baseball’s energy. It absorbed more energy than when Jose Canseco had one go off his cranium that quickly made its way over the fence for a home run in 1993:
That one’s a doink, which is equally funny.
But it’s not a boop.
