Chivalry is dead! And this guy killed it!

It's too funny for words. At the ALT/HOU baseball game a foul ball heads towards the stands as a boyfriend ducks out of the way so the ball can clock his girlfriend.

Clearly my eyes are not as good as yours.

Gotta watch the whole thing man, they show it from all available angles and even interview the couple.

Ah, okay - I only watched it half way through and it seemed the usual 'news' approach of showing the same thing multiple times for no better reason than to fill 'air time'.

the light ALWAYS gets into my eyes.....

Basically a foul ball was headed right for them. The guy claimed that the light from the stadium was in his eyes and he bailed out and the ball hit his girlfriend in the elbow.
Everyone was like "DUDE!" He should've gotten in front of the ball and caught it with his body instead of letting it hit his (VERY FINE LOOKING) girlfriend.

She did seem forgiving though... lucky bastard.

I woulda taken the hit for her, she's pretty cute.

I liked how he kept the ball that hit her.

LE Theory: There is a direct correlation to the degree of how far the hat is turned and the person's intelligence wearing it.


Rewatch and see the theory in action!

No way is that right. People with the hat turned to the side (halfway in between) are way dumber than people with the hat to the front or back.

The funny thing is, I can see him doing the exact same thing in more serious situations.

They are both tragically hip. They should have been pelted with baseballs. Hard. There, I said it.
