Dad Ditches Stroller For Ground-Rule Double

"I mean, what are we doin here?" Lines you usually don't hear from a commentator while referencing dad at a baseball game.

The Mets' Chris Young hit a ground-rule double during Monday's spring training game against Miami. It was in the first inning; evidently one young dad was a little too excited about the possible opportunity at grabbing a hit ball that bounced the fence.

I love how dad is extra careful about protecting his little man from the sun: shades, an umbrella hanging over his head… looks like a mighty comfy seat — only to allow him to roll free-style downhill towards a concrete wall at the first crack of stitched leather.

It obviously appears everyone is fine, but I would have loved to have heard the conversation with mom following this replay gone viral!
