"Bat Out Of Hell"

This picture is great on so many levels. This picture does bring up a great memory I have while attending an Indians game at The Jake err Prog.

Don, some dude named Troy, and I were sitting in the lower reserves near the ball boy in right field. Next to the foul pole, in foul territory, sitting directly against the rail was a 12ish year old girl, her father, then her mother (in that order from the field.) A lefty was up to bat and hit a rope, and I mean a rope... one of those ropes that only a lefty can hit where the ball starts off heading straight for right center then somehow ends up in the seats just before the foul pole. As the ball nears the seats at 200 MPH, mom and the old man take cover towards the concession stands. This leaves said girl sitting alone and gets tattooed on the right arm. She starts balling immediately, stadium personnel are heading her way to check her condition, and Super-Hero Dad is consoling his daughter. I remember a ball mark on the girls arm and us three guys yelling some choice words to Dad regarding his heroic dive out of the way leaving Daddy's little girl to fend for herself... Great times.
