A bad bounce and that could have been baby’s last.

It was hit by Tulowitzki.

Tull wanted the ball because it was fathers day and he wanted to save a Father’s Day home run ball he hit.

So the guy gave it to him and Tulo gave him an autographed ball.

But still well worth a major league baseball. /

Why would a home run be holding a baby?

And why would they drag Aaron Hernandez into court over this? He's getting blamed for more things than George Bush lately.

She kept her eye on the bat — while using her male companion’s head as a shield.

The quintessential image of modern women.

But since the bat was headed straight for a small child seated behind her...I’ll say kudos!
