During the Yankees-Twins game Wednesday a foul ball headed towards the left field seats, optimal for catching. A boy was sitting in the front seats and had his glove ready to do that catching. He indeed caught the ball, and was happy.
Hero kid catches foul ball even though his glove his full to the brim with popcorn
He caught the ball though!
All of that seems exceedingly normal for a baseball game.
Except for that kid’s glove was filled to the brim with popcorn, and that’s where the many many questions start about this whole thing. Most of the questions here are worth asking if only so we can try to imagine a world where he wasn’t eating popcorn out of his glove.
Because the primary question (Why did he have popcorn in his glove?) is painfully obvious. He was eating popcorn out of the glove. Even if you only imagine half of what that glove has been through and what kind of environments it’s seen, that’s gross.
Other questions I have:
- Does he only do this at baseball games or is this a common thing in his life?
- Did he forget he had popcorn in his glove when he went to catch the ball?
- How many times does he get sick every year eating random things out of his baseball glove?
- Does it flavor the popcorn at all? (Probably not but it’s nice to imagine.)
- What was going through the staffer’s mind when he watched the kid do this?
- How much will it cost for the kid’s parents to turn this moment into a full-wall mural?
The best part, besides the popcorn unexpectedly spraying everywhere, is absolutely the staff guy throwing up his mind like “don’t see that every day!” No sir. No you don’t.
