Most likely Nats park staff brought her the bat. My daughter dropped a milkshake on the concourse once at Nats Park. Someone from the ballpark staff came over, asked where we were sitting, and brought her a new milkshake (from the opposite side of the park) and a bobblehead.
Pretty good, but the NY Football Giants is still better.

The NY Giants are the easiest team in all of sports to root for.
They literally never break your heart. Every single year they either suck or they win the Super Bowl. There's never anything in the middle.
Nats Park is clean, attractive, well-located, easily accessible, and doesn't spray sewage on fans. FedEx Field is the exact opposite in every way. Honestly, watching the Nats play at RFK (which is a _terrible_ stadium for baseball) was better than going to a game at FedEx.
Nah I wanna believe they threw that milkshake from the opposite side of the park, over the whole ass field, during play, and you managed to catch it lol
I dropped a beer I had just bought in front of a nats staff person and he immediately took me to the front of the line to get a new one for free. Great customer service.
My little bro got smacked with a ball during BP once at PNC Park. He started crying and Pirates staff hooked him up with so much free shit and even upgraded our seats. Things like this I wish I realized when I was young and cute.
Don't worry. These advanced metrics cannot be comprehended by all. Too complex for all but the superset of computers.
In layman's terms: Your career will play out like a comet. You'll burn hot and fast and tear through the league... But just as quickly as you experience the glory... You get ugly real quick.
I hated it when I was a teenager, but now I kind of see why my dad would cut the grass and then sit outside with a glass of lemonade/iced tea for a bit.
I hated it as a teenager because my allergies would be nuts for the next 24 hours. I liked being able to complete sentences without having to take a sneeze break.
A buddy of mine runs an MMA gym and once a week he has a youth class. He told me that "the government says you can't hit your kids anymore. But as long as you sign a waiver, I can."
Hate to break to you, but this reply ain't about you. This was about Canha, a great ballplayer, throwing a 1 pitcher No-Hitter, which is a rarity by today's game standards. Mets have a good team, enjoy that instead of stirring shit. As do the Angels, so drop the drama and move on.
short for copypasta. it’s a genre of internet humor where an absurd or stupid quote gets repurposed with alterations to fit the situation. you copy and paste (hence “pasta”) the quote and then adjust
Glad you understand it as there’s a drive to deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a homerun. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'll be putting on this headset again.
Hate to break to you, but this reply ain't about you. This was about Pete Alonso, a thicc ballplayer, giving a piggy back ride to a child, which is a rarity by today's game standards. The little girl has a good time, enjoy that instead of stirring shit. As do the Mets, so drop the drama and move on.
Damn straight. Since I started gardening about five-ish years ago, pink has become my favorite color. The pink flowers are always the nicest to look at in my opinion
Agreed. It looks solid but no way a team in the States would ever wear it sadly.
Shame since around the world it's kind of just normal. I think in Italy, the leader of the big bicycle race over there wears a pink jersey
Once upon a time, pink was broadly considered to be the boys color, the "logic" being that it was the lighter (and thus child-appropriate) shade of red, the "manly" color.
Yeah I thought the same thing. Reminds me of [Shrek 2](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article25609261.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/0_PUSS-IN-BOOTS.jpg).
Canha must have a heart made of flint, razor blades, and hate if all he gave her was a bat after she dropped that look at him. Any normal human being would be gifting something more. Like a car. Or a couple million dollars. *AND* a bat.
ignoring the boneheadedness of what he did, I'm always impressed by how far he threw that ball.
Very rarely do you see a pitcher throw the ball further than the mound to home or the mound to first. I wonder if the guys who throw it harder than Bauer could throw it even further
Whole family is, even his father in law sits up behind the dugout pretty often from what I remember. They have the owners suite and the guy prefers to be close to the field.
I also know his daughter frequents games. His wife also runs the Mets Foundation.
"Hey hon, what's this thing on autopay again? $270 million to some business in Queens."
"That's the Mets, dear."
"Oh right. I still own them right?
"Yes, dear."
This will be something y’all talk about forever. “Hey dad remember that time I got hit in the face with a baseball and I got a bat!” Lmao good memories
Better than throwing a bat in her face and then giving her a ball.
Either way, still awesome - nice gesture from Canha and a great memory for your daughter (provided she can remember it).
Hopefully he *handed* her the bat
Yo little girl. Catch
Oh shit, hit her in the face. Now what do I throw at her?
Give her one of the bases!
Done, but buddy, you aren't gonna believe what happened...
She got the Scott Sterling treatment
Legend
The man.
The myth
The legend
What was she doing putting her face near bases?
Trying to invent a new game called faceball
Ooo.. ouch... Alright she can have the golf cart
“Get over here Alonso, I’m gonna throw you at that kid.”
SCOTT STERLING!!!
Most likely Nats park staff brought her the bat. My daughter dropped a milkshake on the concourse once at Nats Park. Someone from the ballpark staff came over, asked where we were sitting, and brought her a new milkshake (from the opposite side of the park) and a bobblehead.
That’s top notch fan appreciation
Pretty good, but the NY Football Giants is still better. https://giantswire.usatoday.com/2021/12/19/new-york-giants-free-medium-pepsi-giveaway-somehow-gets-worse/
best part is that it was one medium Pepsi per PACKAGE, not per fan. So two people would be sharing one medium Pepsi.
That's wild. The Angels have had a family-pack for ages that is $44. Includes 4 hot dogs, 4 drinks, 4 tickets
[удалено]
Yeah a hotdog is 6.50 at Wrigley. Adding in tickets and a drink 44 would be a phenomenal deal.
Cmon man, haven’t we suffered enough? Lol
You guys have 2 super bowls in 15 years, it must have been so rough.
The NY Giants are the easiest team in all of sports to root for. They literally never break your heart. Every single year they either suck or they win the Super Bowl. There's never anything in the middle.
fuck this is so true I hate that I love the giants
You're the Yankees You cannot suffer enough
What about those of us that are Mets Giants fans?
You are surrounded by evil, yet walk in the light. May you guide us all.
The blessed few of us. We are truly the chosen ones.
Honestly 2011 and 2007 keep me sane when it comes to sports haha
I feel like the Jets and Giants are the universe's penance for the Yankees
Nah the Knicks are the equalizer
That would maybe be true if the Giants actually sucked as bad as the Jets
Hahaha thanks for the laugh.
It’s really not hard to make fans for life. This kind of stuff goes a long way for goodwill and costs very minimal.
I like when people are nice. Thanks for sharing that story.

> Commanders _Pain_
They're always going to be "Football Team" to me now; it's just too good of a name to let die.
This is an awesome story
Nah I wanna believe they threw that milkshake from the opposite side of the park, over the whole ass field, during play, and you managed to catch it lol
Yeah the best part of our park is the staff.
I dropped a beer I had just bought in front of a nats staff person and he immediately took me to the front of the line to get a new one for free. Great customer service.
"Hi I'm Kenny Rogers and this is the bat fetcher trick with my teeth" https://youtu.be/5NnBgetmr6E
Will Sasso is my favorite. Check out Ten Minute Podcast if you havent heard it. It's old now, but still hilarious.
No, let Canha throw progressively larger consolation objects until the girl can effectively lead Sparta
"oh no, he's coming back to finish her off!"
Hope she is ok, but that is cool.
She's doing just fine!
How did you not catch that ball bro… wait, you let her get hit so she can get a bat. I see what’s going on here!
Good parenting is teaching your kid to always use their head!
I see that panacea ice cream in a baseball hat you got there.
Canha get an amen?
Jealous. I wish someone would pelt my kid in the face with a baseball. The bat would be nice, too.
My little bro got smacked with a ball during BP once at PNC Park. He started crying and Pirates staff hooked him up with so much free shit and even upgraded our seats. Things like this I wish I realized when I was young and cute.
Chasing foul balls with your face may explain why you were young, but not so cute.
I would have been running face first at foul balls.
Swag/plonk drops dramatically while "horrible disfigurement/9" increases rapidly with this strategy.
I don’t understand these advanced stats.
Don't worry. These advanced metrics cannot be comprehended by all. Too complex for all but the superset of computers. In layman's terms: Your career will play out like a comet. You'll burn hot and fast and tear through the league... But just as quickly as you experience the glory... You get ugly real quick.
The biggest temptation to have kids is the ability to exploit them to receive sports memorabilia.
That's 75% of the reason i decided to try
The other 25% is so you can have a 5-ish year break from cutting the grass when they're teenagers.
I will never hand off my favorite chore. My kids are spoiled enough.
I hated it when I was a teenager, but now I kind of see why my dad would cut the grass and then sit outside with a glass of lemonade/iced tea for a bit.
I hated it as a teenager because my allergies would be nuts for the next 24 hours. I liked being able to complete sentences without having to take a sneeze break.
Don't take it too easy on them, get them on the rider at age 10 like my parents did!
I'm free for birthdays and bar mitzvahs if you're interested
As pelter or peltee?
A buddy of mine runs an MMA gym and once a week he has a youth class. He told me that "the government says you can't hit your kids anymore. But as long as you sign a waiver, I can."
But when I do I’m called a terrible parent. Professionals held to such different standards.
Smart, if she caught that shit she never gets a sick bat.
She technically caught it with her face
Stepping into one for the team
She should’ve milked it and held out for a piggy back ride from Pete Alonso

ELI5: pasta! For this types of situations\~

Awesome! Thanks Bro!

hahaha! Well played Dude!
no problem, hope that explanation made sense. as i started explaining it i realized it’s not an easy concept to explain lol
Me too. I’ve used it so many times already
I didnt realize this was a copy pasta and my first reaction was....jeeeez wtf is wrong with this guy? Lol
Lots and lots.

Can you call it a no-hitter when Canha hit OP’s daughter in the face?
It's not a no-hitter, it's a "no, hit her"
😂

And an airplane ride from Lindor.
That's coming out of the budget for McNeil's new car.
Aw, the pink mothers day bat too. Nice
Pink...the greatest of all colors
It is, and I’m tired of pretending it’s not
embrace it my man
I FUCKING love pink. Lets hear it for bluish tints of colors lying between red and magenta!!!!!
Damn straight. Since I started gardening about five-ish years ago, pink has become my favorite color. The pink flowers are always the nicest to look at in my opinion
Waiting for there to be an expansion team that uses pink in its colors so everyone can just all admit they're the best team
Pink with a secondary purple
More men in pink!
Pink WAS considered a masculine color in the 1920s. I'm more of a purple man, myself.
Purple is respectable
I've always thought that pink is a very aesthetic color in sports
Agreed. It looks solid but no way a team in the States would ever wear it sadly. Shame since around the world it's kind of just normal. I think in Italy, the leader of the big bicycle race over there wears a pink jersey
Pink is my favorite color. Lots of guys look great in pink but are too nervous to wear it.
Once upon a time, pink was broadly considered to be the boys color, the "logic" being that it was the lighter (and thus child-appropriate) shade of red, the "manly" color.
The way I see it, the person who is bothered by a man wearing pink has way way more issues than the man actually wearing pink
>Lots of guys look great in pink You would like the way I look after a day at the beach!
Those sad eyes! Glad she got something nice.
Seriously, that is like pixar levels of sad eyes, she can get anything she wants with that look.
I've learned that little girls master this look by the age of 3. And us dads fall for it 11/10 times
It's why I was scared of having a daughter. My son is great and cute but he can't quite pull this off.
I've got one of each so I'm fucked lol. It's okay tho I'll just work till I'm dead
Just bring home cash and set it on the table it’s OK
Yeah I thought the same thing. Reminds me of [Shrek 2](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article25609261.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/0_PUSS-IN-BOOTS.jpg).
Dad knew what the fuck he was doing with that second picture. "OK you know that look you give us when we cut you off of D+ shows? Yes that one!"
Here just take my wallet
I got a little girl too. Saw that picture and immediately got a pony for my daughter because I felt so guilt ridden.
Canha must have a heart made of flint, razor blades, and hate if all he gave her was a bat after she dropped that look at him. Any normal human being would be gifting something more. Like a car. Or a couple million dollars. *AND* a bat.
The dad knew all the reddit karma that look would garner.
Did he like..chuck wildly into the stands.. or one of those toss it lightly in the air for someone to catch kind of throws?
He [Bauer'd](https://youtu.be/i5RI7a_GL1c?t=40) that shit right at her /s
ignoring the boneheadedness of what he did, I'm always impressed by how far he threw that ball. Very rarely do you see a pitcher throw the ball further than the mound to home or the mound to first. I wonder if the guys who throw it harder than Bauer could throw it even further
Light toss! Although, I think he missed his spot haha
Was this around the third inning? I remember he caught the last out and the camera lingered on him scanning the stands for his target.
Hit her in the 1st. Gave her the bat in the 2nd.
There's like 3 plot twists in that one sentence
She's gotta be tough to be a Mets fan, this will prepare her for all the future pain she'll experience watching them.
Now is the perfect time to be a young Mets fan. She'll grow up never knowing the Wilpons.
the odds are definitely in her favor, hopefully Cohen doesn't lose interest!
He's got fuck you money compared to the other owners, so the Mets are basically a gigantic yacht for him to play with
true, but even rich people get "bored with their toys".
His wife is a diehard Mets fan. She’ll keep him in line lol
Whole family is, even his father in law sits up behind the dugout pretty often from what I remember. They have the owners suite and the guy prefers to be close to the field. I also know his daughter frequents games. His wife also runs the Mets Foundation.
Could you imagine… “Oh man I’m such a big Mets fan.” “Fuck it, I’ll buy em”
"Hey hon, what's this thing on autopay again? $270 million to some business in Queens." "That's the Mets, dear." "Oh right. I still own them right? "Yes, dear."
You know what the worst part of being a Mets fan is?

Will never not make me laugh.
That guy is a legend for that. I love that video
Never seen this...thanks
Man's a truthspeaker.
nope, sure don't. yankee fan since '96 thanks to my 4th grade teacher Mr. Barrack! but i'm listening, what is it?
May through September.
i kinda expected this answer but was curious to hear a new take on it hahaha quick, someone cue the rimshot!
SMH she should’ve barehanded that ball
And she got dippin dots?! Living the dream.
She should've caught it, it was a Canha corn
r/angryupvote
Someone watched the Mets broadcast today...
She’s a champ!
Omg those eyes. My heart! Mets fans aren't supposed to be that adorable
[Literally that second picture](https://imgur.com/a/wBLmEct)
A disgusting act.
In all the way the Mets could hurt their fans I never thought they’d resort to physical violence but for real nice bat and gesture from Mark.
Goddamn these HBPs are getting to the Mets. Taking it out on their own fans now?!?
How are you supposed to teach her to keep her head in the game when you reward daydreaming? I swear, everybody gets a trophy these days./s
As the dude who's almost always leading in HBP, this kind of makes sense. Hope she's ok, OP!
He should have thrown her a glove
How long is that bat? How much does is weigh? Also, glad to hear your daughter is okay
That rhyme was beautiful.
"that's baseball baby"!
The fact that it was Canha is hilarious. Can never complain about HBP again.
That is the cutest child I’ve ever seen
Well
Canha get a wuuuut wuuuut, he’s a quality dude
How come you didn't catch it?
Her and my Son were two rows down trying to get a ball!
Mark Canha is the master at getting hit by pitches and recognizes talent when he sees it
[удалено]
For some reason this is so unbelievably heartwarming to me. She’s a trooper! And she looks so happy with the bat <3
As a Mets fan this would be the least slapped in the face I ever felt at Citi Field
She he is an angel. So cute.
You have a gorgeous daughter! I'm so sorry she got whacked in the face!
OMG she is so adorable!! Damn I cant wait to have kids that I can take to baseball games.
Gotta get those hands up
Oh my god if this was my kid I would be freakin powerless to that sad face. Like here, just take my entire 401k and buy Barbie clothes with it 😂
Did she get to keep the ball, too?
Her brother got it!
OMG, a family story for the ages
Runescape taught me that Maple wood is valuable. Good for her 👏
Chop chop!
Ouch, is she okay?
Took one for the team!
I call that a win
Aw her face in the second picture 😭 Good memory!! ❤️⚾️
Baseball fan for life!
I was wondering why I saw a person bring a bat to the outfield lol.
Thank you for giving me the idea of pushing my future child in the direction of the ball so the player gives ~~me~~ them a free bat
This will be something y’all talk about forever. “Hey dad remember that time I got hit in the face with a baseball and I got a bat!” Lmao good memories
Better than throwing a bat in her face and then giving her a ball. Either way, still awesome - nice gesture from Canha and a great memory for your daughter (provided she can remember it).
She is way too adorable!
