Him looking up at it gets me every time

Not only that but he signaled how many outs to the Mantis. One of my favorite baseball clips of all time.

What are the rules on this? To me it seems like the nationals got away with having an extra player on defense. Maybe bugs don't count but when I watched the AirBud movies, Buddy always counted as a player.

Man talk about one of the greatest all around athletes ever. Dominated in baseball, football, soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Bo Jackson got nothing on Buddy. Bo knows who the better athlete really is

TLDR: a bunch of nonsense but this brewers dodgers game is getting intense. Omg back to back as I'm typing this

Ain't no rule says a bug can't play baseball

Haha this conversation reminded me of that time a pigeon joined the Raiders in kick coverage.

Edit: Pigeon here's the video of him lining up, waiting for the kick, and flying with the coverage as they run down the field. Haha the pigeon even curls into the middle of the field as with the defense when the returner gets tackled

Hell, in the cricket a seagull blocked a shot going for 4. Stopped 2 runs, the bloody legend.

hardest thing i ever seen

[u/Feeling_Barnacle_584 → u/MulfordnSons]

The fact that this man won a ring too makes it so much better

[u/ThatPlayWasAwful → u/Feeling_Barnacle_584]

Did the mantis get a ring though

[u/Confused_Mirror → u/ThatPlayWasAwful]

I think the mantis joined the team after that WS.

Too Roblessed to be stressed

A fellow human of culture I see

This gif and the Alonzo Mourning one are first ballot hall of famers

[u/steel-neil → u/ButchertheBaker]

I always wondered what he was thinking.

Also, I’ve seen this so many times I’ve caught myself doing it

[u/Omnimark → u/AgeBeneficial]

Down 30, I imagine it's along the lines of 'I can't believe we're down 30. We have been playing like ass though'.

[u/Ok_Rain_1837 → u/PistolPeteMoff]

he did an interview and said he doesn’t really remember

[u/AnEmptyKarst → u/drdummy]

Always appreciated him reminding the mantis how many outs there are, gotta keep everyone on track

[u/CalebosO4 → u/drdummy]

I feel like this is an omen

[u/MossyPlantyWitchy → u/CalebosO4]

It is.

[u/yousmelllikebiscuits → u/drdummy]

I miss him so much

[u/dan_144 → u/drdummy]

Absolute classic
