Astros Boyfriend Hits Girlfriend With a Foul Ball – Thumbs Down

Baseball is America’s pastime.  Our childhood memories bring us back to playing catch with our dads, our first little league baseball game, and our first Major League Baseball game.  Pretty much every American has a check mark next to those three events.  One event that lingers is catching a foul ball in an MLB game.  It’s a dream.  People go crazy and will do anything for a foul ball (I can’t seem to find the video of a Rangers fan-I think- who knocked over a child to get to a foul ball and proceeded to get hit by the cane of an old lady…if you find this video, bonus points for you!).  Catching a foul ball is one of the greatest highlights of a person’s career.  The feeling of getting your hands on that little baseball while 10 other fans are fighting for it is so exhilarating.  The only logical thing to do when you catch one is to hold the ball up high in the air for everyone to see that YOU came out of the scrum successful.

Well, as you’ll see in the video below, it seems that one Astros fan must have a different idea of how to act when a foul ball comes your way.  Not only does the Astros fan cry foul by wearing his hat half-backwards/half-sideways, not only did he also miss a spot under his lip while shaving earlier that day before picking up his date, but he also broke the first rule of taking a date to a baseball game.

Rule #1: Don’t let your date get hit by a foul ball.

Not only does he let her get hit by the ball, but he is the sole reason she got hit: He ducked out of the way! When every other baseball fan would keep his or her hands high to catch the ball coming to them, this fan takes a lesson from Peter LaFleur and dodges.

Hope this guy bought plenty of gifts, flowers and a cold ice pack for that bruise on the girl’s elbow.
