The worst? That'd be that the spotter is actually gymnast Nastia Liukin's father.
The best thing about this GIF is, I think, the little leg-kick at the end. I mention this, because the dude here is apparently entirely unclear on the concept, to the point that I did wonder if he was just some guy who wandered in off the street, for nefarious purposes. The purpose of a spotter in gymnastics is to be there to catch the athlete and break their fall if they slip up. Maybe they misunderstood the concept of "web gems." The only way this masterpiece of comic timing could be more childishly amusing, would have been if the pitcher was Bartolo Colon. Remember the much-loathed advertising plan for the second Spider-man movie, which was going to involve plastering the film's logo all over the bases for actual games? I mean, not little league games - Major League.ones? The idea was eventually scrapped, but there still seems to be a perception on Madison Avenue that baseball fans love them some wall-climbing superhero. Sabathia Lets Rip With An Enormous Spidey That whimpering sound you hear in the distance is Chris Snyder, C.C. If any man can watch this for 60 seconds straight without wincing. You can tell that from the way he is pounding his ball. I can imagined his reaction: "Oh, you said to keep your eye on the puck. This was somewhat higher-level, however: Game Four of the Stanley Cup Finals in LA, and New Jersey Devils coach Peter DeBoer found himself.somewhat distracted, shall we say. One of the great things about hockey, is you can get right up close to things, with only a sheet of perspex between you and the players or coaches - I remember being just behind the penalty box for some Phoenix Mustangs games, and that was fun. On the other hand, no-one can accuse Ruiz of carrying his bat back to the dugout. Normally, when you get such a wild swing that the bat is released, there's usually some degree of contact to distract the viewer, but this was a clean strike three. I haven't seen such a great disappearing trick since Mitt Romney made five million Republicans disappear. One second, Ruiz is holding the bat, the next second, he's walking back to the dugout. I've watched this GIF, literally, a hundred times, and I can't see how it's done. The finest part is the little "air fist-bump" Buck gives, after he has been left hanging. That would explain why the old-school Buck Showalter was impressed, but Mark 'K's don't matter' Reynolds wasn't. Something like a productive out, advancing a runner from second to third maybe. and Special K's apparent self-disdain suggests it probably wasn't. Not sure what: normally, I'd suggest it was a home-run, but the absence of anyone else to greet him. Mark Reynolds Leaves Buck Showalter Hanging
