Guy holding a toddler reaches over rail to grab a baseball and nearly finds disaster instead

As parents, we often make decisions we regret. Like introducing our kids to “Caillou” or letting them find out that Chuck E. Cheese’s exists. Next time you do something you regret, moms and dads, find some solace in the fact that you’re not the dude in the video above.

He was at Monday night’s Los Angeles Angels game, armed with a toddler and chasing a stray ball. He reached over the rail, but the ball was just a little bit too far. So he reached a little more and then a little more before — oh, holy oops — he was about to tumble over the rail and bring the kid with him.

This was NOT a good decision.

If the Dad of the Year power ranking were calculated Monday night, this dude would be the Miami Marlins. (If he had actually fallen, he’d be the Philadelphia Phillies).

The most embarrassing part came after our guy was back on his feet. An usher came by and picked up the ball. Instead of handing it to the guy or the kid, the usher just straight up tossed the ball to some other people. People who, presumably, didn’t almost fall on their head while holding a kid.

That was a clear sign: the universe’s rules were broken and karma acted quickly.
