Watch the woman who saved 2 from a high-speed foul bat
You’ll pay for the whole seat, but all you need is the edge.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Catching a foul ball has become passe these days because everyone is doing it. Luckily baseball stepped its game us by making foul bats a thing and this could really change the game. One woman at Monday’s White Sox game took that to a whole new level by becoming a hero.
There’s a whole lot going on in this video, so let’s break down the key moments.
Chivalry is dead
Look, we’re not going to succumb to some silly gender roles, but it’s generally nice if you’re in the line of fire that you take one for the team -- man or woman. The chap with her seems to have no interest in trying to catch the bat, in fact he cowers.
This could have gone horribly wrong
It’s not until after the catch that you realize this woman completely unwittingly saved a baby behind her. So she rescued two people from being hit in the head with a bat.
