During a baseball game we can observe the great reflexes of a father who almost drops his son while at the same time trying to catch a ball that was hit towards the place where he, his glass of beer and of course his little girl were.
Dad almost drops his son while trying to catch a baseball
A baseball fan nearly drops his son while catching a foul ball at the ballpark, and the Internet explodes saying they think it’s basically bad parenting.
Investor Jason Calacanis took to Twitter to share a video clip of the father in the act of juggling his son and a plastic cup of beer while catching the ball.
“Wait, did I just see this guy drop his baby, catch the ball, catch the falling baby and not spill his beer? Jumper! That’s some Jedi/Kung Fu dad stuff!” the person tweeted.
But some people in the replies were upset by the video citing how dangerous this could have been for a child.

“Why aren’t more people pointing out the fact that this is bad parenting? The baby looks traumatized and it’s pretty unsafe to take very young children to ball games,” someone commented on the tweeted video.
“A real parent doesn’t take a damn baby to a baseball game so they can sit and drink for 3 hours.
And then endanger the child for a damn baseball,” added another rather angry person.
Some people said it’s strange that, as a society, we seem to glamorize the behavior. They also point out that the parent’s priorities are skewed.
“A stupid, risky choice involving his son. His damn beer means more to him than his daughter. It doesn’t matter if he caught her, he still willingly chose to drop her in the first place instead of the beer,” someone else commented on his questionable choice.
Others jokingly thought that “physics suggests that this is not possible” to accomplish and that the father was “multitasking at the next level.”
