The photo was taken in Orlando, Florida at the instant when a bat slipped from the hands of Pittsburgh Pirate, Danny Ortiz, during a spring training game against the Atlanta Braves.
The image captures the heart-stopping nanosecond when a fan instinctively stretches his arm to deflect the lethal trajectory of the stick as it whirls wildly towards his son's oblivious face.

It's a good thing the father was paying attention because his son isn't.

Checkout the dumbass woman in the red top, holding her hands out to protect herself from a missile at least 10 metres away.Quote from: "Mr Crowley"

You DO realize the "save the day" remark is not going to go over well?
I would cover your nuts.

The guy on the left with a red shirt, shades and grey hair does not look very brave either.

You, a man, can't tell the difference between 2 meters and 10. Seems to be a common problem with your gender. You guys can't estimate length but think you can handle a crisis? HA!

Where was the father when he should of been telling his kid to get off the cell phone and watch out for foul balls and broken bats? ......Oh I probably know.....doing guy thing like flagging down the beer vendor?
As they say...God watches out for idiots and drunks.
When you sit behind home plate you better not have your head up your ass. Unfortunately if that were you in that seat, you would have been fucked. Then again, I'd pay real money to see you get a face full of wood.

We have netting behind our home plate do people don't get hit with bats and balls.Quote from: "RW"
The newer pro stadiums like Citi field and the new Yankee stadium have very small backstop netting. The diamond level seats are expensive and people don't want to have obstructed view. If you are even slightly toward the home or visiting side of home plate you are outside the nets. The nets as they are, are basically only good for foul tips that go almost straight back.
MLB is now looking at expanding the nets because of recent fan injuries. One proposal is to expand the backstop netting left and right all the way to the home and visitors dugouts. That will suck.

And you, a woman, know nothing of telescopic lenses and their tendency to condense a scene into looking flat and compressed.
Here is a page that may help you understand how telephoto lenses work.

Center to center on a row of seats is 2.7 feet approx. Five rows = 13.5 feet or a little over 4 meters.

I watched as a kid which is probably why I can tell the difference between 4m and 10m.
I notice the gender of the inattentive child was never mentioned by you Crow. Why is that?
