I think my very next pitch would be in the dirt, too.
Lol! Or he thought he was playing cricket.
That’s a God thing!!
Looks like a Hat thing to me.
That’s what I was thinking when I read the Title!
He’s at that awkward age where everything in you wants to shed tears – not so much from the pain but the shock – but you’re also aware of the hundreds of pairs of eyeballs watching to see how you react so you just suck it up.
Who knew? Flat-billed hats are good for something after all.
So the kid gets a scare then feels the need to hit the ump in the groin? What an a hole.
This is little league? Poor kids, the pressure must be huge.
In the last few seconds of the video the umpire gets hit in the junk.
