I thought this too, but looking closer I think the baby is standing on a chair and lost their balance?

Looks like that baby was free falling. He kinda supported her with his knee I think. Baby doesn’t look baby about it haha.
ThiefMnemonic t1_j7ob86t wrote
right, or the baby would fall instantly because gravity.
Looks like she was on a ledge or wall and fell backwards in a delayed reaction to the ball. The father catches her instantly with nary a drop spilt! That's 2 bad ass catches in a short amount of time.

Yea I think the kid was standing on the seat. But it does kinda look like he tosses the kid in the air to make a play on the ball.

Reginault t1_j7offg7 wrote
Gravity is acceleration, not instant velocity. Baby starts at 0mph, if you catch it within 1 second it has only accelerated to 2.2mph. That's a plodding walking pace.

Props to the lady in the background for being emotionally present, in that moment.
...her face goes from "OH GOD! THE BABY'S GONNA FALL!!".....to....."WHOA, HE'S COOOOOL".
33saint1 t1_j7ogcsv wrote
So, he let go of the baby at the right moment, caught the ball while stabilizing his beer, recaught the baby, and started to raise the beer in celebration.
That was insane hand eye coordination

This could also be accurate if the baby had dropped their drink but then died

So awesome by the dad to choose risking dropping your kid over a beer for a ball!!!
WeAreReaganYouth t1_j7pa5wk wrote
You know that grabbing a flying ball like that helps to prevent other fans from getting hit and concussed, right?

Lol. I thought the first thing you said was pretty dumb but this is up there too.

Kid didn't fall though, he caught the ball and the kid all while holding a beer.

Deyvicous t1_j7q3ws5 wrote
I’m not sure many people could hold their phone stationary in the air while raising their arm overhead and back…. That thing is immediately accelerating. They don’t just cartoon hover in the air lol, even if the speed is low.

I don't think she'd have the same reflexes as the guy does, my guess.

The issue is about the father making the choice to drop the child for a baseball.
ThiefMnemonic t1_j7q6wko wrote
You left out the "actually" part of your post.
Gravity is a force. The baby hovered (didnt accelerate) after the dad let go. Gravity doesn't have a delay but yes you are right that full terminal velocity wasn't instantly achieved
Thus she was self supported until she fell back to dodge the ball. End of debate.

Rockytana t1_j7qoelr wrote
This is the best fan catch of all time, doesn’t spill beer, somehow he makes the baby float long enough for him to fully let go, reach into the air and make the catch in time to keep the baby from hitting the ground.

Look how little the baby fell. You can see him working this out before catching the ball.

The ends justify the means. Dad ended up with baby+ball+beer. Great success!

KRed75 t1_j7r82ce wrote
I was almost thinking he was holding the baby in one arm, the beer in the other then quickly let go of the baby, reached up, caught the ball and grabbed the baby before gravity could do its thing.
somethingwithbacon t1_j7r8j7k wrote
He definitely caught that baby, too. Doesn’t count as dropped til it hits the ground.
Cedjy t1_j7rgihc wrote
I like to think he tossed the baby up a bit to catch the ball then catch the baby

Essentially juggling
Deliriousdrifter t1_j7rjkmc wrote
That's incorrect, you dropped a 0. It's 22mph not 2.2. 22mph is a serious impact. Most people would break their legs after 1 second of free fall. You can avoid injury with training however
Gravitational acceleration is 9.8m/s in other words for every second an object falls it's velocity increases by 9.8m/s. After 1 second you're hitting the ground HARD. 1 second is a 16 foot drop

You right, I meant to write 0.1s since he snaps up to grab the ball quickly.

I think you are right. That is very likely what it is. Not being a fan of baseball, I have never seen such a thing before. Makes more sense than wearing a wedge of cheese or watermelon on your head to show team spirit.

I see three horrified people reaching very slowly for that baby.
canitakemybraoffyet t1_j84n8za wrote
It looks like baby is standing on top of the railing, being held up by dad's left arm supporting her back.
Ball incoming, dad has right hand occupied by beer so he removes supporting left hand from baby to catch the ball.
Baby starts to fall, dad is quick enough to get his left arm back in time to catch her, never risking the precious beer.
