It’s Dumb to Use a Smartphone During a Baseball Game

I’ll bet even Ray Charles can see that! I mean, why go to a baseball game and stay on your smartphone? You miss the action and could be killed unless your dad saves you from the dreaded bat. Duhhh! Pay attention!

I couldn’t resist posting that. I have only been hit once in a stadium by a foul ball. Never a foul bat! It was a screaming foul ball off the façade of the Pressbox at the Indianapolis Indians Stadium. I had a choice of the following:

  1. Ducking and spilling the beer in my hand;
  2. Trying to turn and catch it and spilling the beer in my hand; or
  3. Letting it hit me between the shoulder blades and not spilling my beer.
