His name is not given – although I believe it’s Toughguy McGee – but whoever he is, he has the reflexes of a Florida panther. The incident occurred during the Braves-Pirates game over the weekend when Danny Ortiz of the Pirates lost control of his bat. Surely the boy in this picture is happy Mr. McGee was nearby. Also another good reason to wait until after the at bat to upload your Instagram video, young chap. The Braves fell to the Buccos 9-6 in case you care about the results of spring games. Have some southern-style pecan pie, good sir, you deserve it.
3/8/2016 UPDATE: This is indeed a father-son pairing and they appeared on The Today Show to talk about the incident.
Said it before, will say it again. Put away the damn phones, especially if you are sitting in the front rows. This is why extended netting is necessary.

Of course one cannot blame the small child who bought neither the ticket nor the phone for his having and looking at it.

Dark chocolate cake, antioxidants. Only one of those pairs really well with a cabernet, and that’s chocolate cake.
Chocolate cake + cabernet, more antioxidants. We’re just looking out for you.

Cheesecake WITH whipped cream on top. (Drizzle of dark chocolate syrup on top of the whipped cream is OK.)

Snap … even better. Somebody needs to invent baklava cheesecake, with Greek-style yogurt and Greek-style cream cheese.
