So, what’s the lesson here? Pay attention if you have great seats at the baseball park because you could be wounded by flying bats? Make sure you’re sitting next to someone who IS paying attention if you want to play with your phone at the ball park? Regularly say a little pray to thank God and your guardian angels because you never know when you’re gonna get a message to get your head out of your …? Either way, this kid is the luckiest person in Florida.
![[VIRAL PHOTO] Boy Saved From Flying Baseball Bat](https://dailyheadlines.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screen-Shot-2016-03-08-at-7.47.41-AM.png)
FoxNewsInsider:An incredible photo shows a heroic, quick-thinking baseball fan saving a young boy from a bat that went flying into the stands.
According to Pittsburgh Tribune-Review photographer Christopher Horner, it happened at McKechnie Field in Bradenton, Florida, during a spring training game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Atlanta Braves.
Based on the photo, the boy was looking down at his phone when the bat slipped out of a player’s hands, sending it flying into the crowd.
Luckily, the man next to the boy was not looking down at his phone and used his cat-like reflexes to save the day.
Horner’s photo, which has gone viral after he posted it to Twitter, shows the man’s arm blocking the kid’s face just in the nick of time.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt in the incident, and this serves as a reminder to always keep your eye on the ball – or bat.
