I had to pull the video up at another site, but I love the reaction of the guy next to her. He has his phone in his left hand and uses his right to just kind take a gentle swat at the ball. But, he does protect his phone!

That gentleman beside her put up a good effort to stop that ball from smashing her in the face.

I would think most people sitting around here were thinking "surely she just isn't going to sit there and let that ball hit her in the face"

I only saw a slow motion video of him trying to swat and it looked weak to me. He held on to his phone though!

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. He put little effort in.

I thought maybe you were but since I was seeing slow motion, I thought maybe I didn't see it right.

I like watching the video in slow motion as it appears the guy has an extremely slow reaction time and did appear to do very little in stopping the ball, but watching full speed, honestly don't think he could have done any more unless it anticipated ahead of time the ball was getting tipped out of bounds. That was a square shot in the face.

It's his wife. That's the reason for the slow reaction and using the off-hand. He's thinking "You should've been watching the game, *****."

Look at the lady behind her. Just in case the faced lady's head comes off, she's ready.

You'd have thought his wack off hand would have moved faster!

He was just making sure the ball didn't bounce off of her onto him.

Two things: the T-rex in the orange shirt, and the Tubby stare from the guy behind her!

People's reactions in slo-mo hilarious.

You can slow the video down enough to make it look like the guy had an hour to react and protect the woman. You have to see the video in real time to determine how much time he actually had.

He ALMOST made his attempt to stop the ball look legitimate. May help keep him out of hot water at home.

That woman had absolutely no clue what just happened. I laughed forever last night when I saw that. JMO, but if you're going to be that close to the action it might be a good idea to put your phone away for a few hours and enjoy the experience.

The War on women has begun. Balls to the face. Somewhere Hillary is wondering how to use this.

PAY ATTENTION ***** ! You have GREAT seats . You can look at pictures of your grandkids at home . That's why I never take my wife to a UK game , she would look at everything but the ballgame .

This is why some people want to extend the netting at baseball parks. These days people are so busy looking at their mobile devices and somebody is going to get a line drive right in the head.

A crazy guy texting with one hand and holding a cig in another ran a red light and almost killed me.People can't go to the bathroom without a cell phone.It's pathetic.

Had she been appropriately using a $500 ticket I'd agree with you. If you want to watch cat videos or chat on Facebook, let some kid who will never sit that close have the seat.

As harsh as this sounds, I agree. Afterall, this isn't the Kentucky Derby where most people go just to be seen. I don't take my wife to ballgames because she doesn't care and would be reading a book. I go to see the game!

I don't understand it either.I pay big bucks to go to games and look around and half the crowd is posting selfies.But it's a free country so I guess they pay the money and can do what they want and it doesn't affect me in any way so I don't really care.

Glad you are alive. If people text and drive and cause an accident they need to lose their license for a while.

Finally got some some GREAT tickets to the UK vs Auburn game .Mid court , row E . Older couple comes in and sits in the seats in front of us , AT THE 10 MINUTE MARK of the first half. I thought , must be the bad roads . Nope , woman tells people beside her that were just having extra drinks and chatting downstairs . They get up and leave with 7 minutes left in the game . I'm thinking "why even come to the game "?

She had a bid going on ebay or a new pinterest link. Those who already stated, the guy to her right was turrible.
