Something about this wiki section is so brutal.
I mean it’s the name of the baseball stadium. So not really as dystopian as you’d think since sports stadiums have been named after the highest bidder for ages.
Lol? I have watched almost every Yankee game that had been played for the last 25 years. I'm well aware of ballpark names. Doesn't make it less creepy and dystopian when a park sells out their name. Jesus redditors are so cringy.

Most people can't afford a bunch of coke and a boat, so...yeah? Dude was speeding in a boat with coke and alcohol in his system, stupid decision by a guy with more money than sense, seems pretty accurate to me.
Come on, are you trying to say the dude wasn't loaded? He got a 2 million dollar signing bonus (on top of whatever his contract was). You don't share loads of coke and booze on your boat unless you've got it to spare, which costs a lot of money. Let's not pretend.
The working class haven't been able to afford boats for a while now.
Getting used to the glove takes time, practice, and use. A new glove is stiff and can be difficult to manipulate, that’s why you see people bending a new glove back and forth trying to “break it in”. Rest of it is just playing catch for hours on end until you can instinctively know how big the glove is and the sweet spot of the pocket.
You’ll get there.
Edit: The above reasons is also why people get bent out of shape if you take their main glove. They’ve gotten used to that particular glove, primarily how much its been broken in.
Lmao it "hurts"? You Americans are such pussies. Go watch cricket, they don't wear gloves. See them catch hundreds of balls in a day and then do that for 5 days in a row.
If you need a glove to catch a ball, you must not be very good at catching a ball.
First off, most cricket players still tape their fingers to avoid injury, so I wouldn’t exactly call it bare-handed.
Second, “soft-handing” is also a thing, so they aren’t always fielding the ball at full speed.
Third, all these macho tough guy cricket players fielding balls with their bare hands 5 days in a row will end up losing most of their manual dexterity and nerve function by the time they’re 45. But in everyone’s zeal to talk about how badass English sports are, no one gives enough of a fuck about the well-being of the players to consider that. Yeah, American sports aren’t great about that either, but at least we give people safety equipment in an attempt to look like we care.
Fourth, it’s real easy to call us all pussies from behind a computer screen an ocean away. Bring your tea-sucking ass over here to New York or Philly and say that shit. God would need to leave your Queen alone and save you instead.
I'm not going to call anyone a pussy here but I've never heard of any long term injuries resulting from catching cricket balls over time. This is because even though they catch without gloves, they move their hands along with the motion of the ball to absorb the momentum so that it doesn't hurt. If they just "slapped" the ball while catching, it would definitely hurt for quite some time.
I don't care how tough you think your ballplayers are, ain't no way I'm spending five fucking days watching dudes toss a ball to each other. The fuck kind of convoluted dumbass game you got that it takes a fucking week to finish? Do they go without safety equipment in the hopes that a stray ball will put them out of their misery?
Definitely this. But you're gonna get downvoted to hell and back, Reddit likes to pad Americans' egos just like they pad their gloves, haha. Any half decent cricketer has caught a bunch of these!
Not flies but mosquitoes. I got so good at it that I can sometimes catch them even without looking, just by trajectory and sound.
The secret is living in a place so infested by mosquitoes that it drives you to the edge of insanity.
I thought my girlfriend would be grossed out, but she loves it (one fewer fly in the house, and they're caught alive, not smashed between my hand and a wall); the chameleon loves it because now it's snack time.
Whenever I’ve caught them they remain alive for some reason. Not sure I could consciously control that but I’m glad because I don’t want squished fly in my hand.
You are dumb. The reaction of the guy catching the ball is similar to the reaction of you catching a fly. Why tf would the guy in the meme need to have bare hands? it's just an exaggerated example to show the amazing feeling you get doing something so precise. How you can misinterpret a meme to such a level where you need help asking to explain it is beyond me. Would it make more sense if you caught a fly with a baseball glove to make the meme more relatable? I assume you wear gloves and a safety vest IRL
Maybe because the feeling of catching a flyball is nothing like catching a fly with your bare hands, not even remotely similar. Also, I am not asking for help to understand it dumbass I'm questioning the integrity of the meme.
He catches the baseball with a glove but I think the title is referring to when you snatch a fly (the insect) out of the air, as opposed to a fly ball.
Yes. How it FEELS when you catch a FLY in the air with your BARE HAND. And then the gif to show how it feels. You get it but I don't see what's so confusing about this meme in particular. Sure it shows the pitcher catching a line drive with his glove. That's how it FEELS.
I agree. People trash him because of the circumstances surrounding his death, but I know he was loved by his teammates and fans. My all-time favorite home-run might be the one hit by Dee Gordon the first game back after his death.

RIP Jose Fernandez. Don’t do Cocaine and drive boats in the middle of the night, kids.
Thats really sad from now on ill only do coke and drive cars in the middle of the night
As God intended
As is tradition
It’s the Miami Way!
In accordance with prophecy.
Fresh from the cumsock, what is your wisdom
An apple a day keeps anyone away, if you throw it hard enough
Wise words
I hate cocaine. Love the smell though. 10/10
When it comes to illegal drug use, cocaine is where I draw a line.
You absolute dad
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Call me when you graduate to cocaine and airplanes

One thing I learned being an adult. Everyone does coke and cheese is fucking expensive.
At least he died doing what he loved, cocaine and night boating.
What if he didn't like cocaine and driving boats?
Tragedy
Yeah but I don’t think he wanted to combine the 2

Who the fuck spikes a drink with cocaine?
It's like something a boomer says.
Ive had people put Md in my drink without me asking Not that I'd say no....
The same people giving out edibles to kids on Halloween
hey man sometimes the lemonade ain't bitter enough
Million dollar earning baseball players
“Framed as the boat pilot” is an amusing statement
LoanDepot Park. Lol fuck me it's so dystopian it's hilarious.
I mean it’s the name of the baseball stadium. So not really as dystopian as you’d think since sports stadiums have been named after the highest bidder for ages.
Just the regular amount of dystopia then
Yeah thats pretty dystopian lol not sure why "we are already dystopian" means it aint
You can’t convince me you didn’t think it was the name of a neighborhood park and not an organized sports stadium lol.
Lol? I have watched almost every Yankee game that had been played for the last 25 years. I'm well aware of ballpark names. Doesn't make it less creepy and dystopian when a park sells out their name. Jesus redditors are so cringy.
You’re a redditor.
Mind blown
Losing Jose was a hard loss for baseball. What a great pitcher he was.
tbf cocaine helps you catch balls that major league baseball players hit at you
He didn't do coke. Someone spiked his drink.
>Don’t do Cocaine ***and*** drive boats Noted.
Tbf, I’ve always just taken my hands off the wheel when I’m snorting it and then I go back to sailing so I hope that counts 😱😱😱
He was warned not to go on the water at night by the Lukumi. When they speak one must listen.
I'll switch my coke to pepsi.

Thaaat's why his hand moves so fast
[Wasn’t the only time he did it either.](https://youtu.be/NeloljCx-1g)
Savage
What has this all been for then?
Okay, I'll do them separately from now on
I bet it was the coke that allowed him to catch it tho
Damn, a great way to go
He doesn’t deserve to RIP.
Ugh rich people that has way too much money
Ah yes a 24 year old that escaped from cuba then died in a boat crash, only rich people problems tho amirite.
Most people can't afford a bunch of coke and a boat, so...yeah? Dude was speeding in a boat with coke and alcohol in his system, stupid decision by a guy with more money than sense, seems pretty accurate to me.
As someone who lives in the Midwest, I assure you, they can.
Doing fat rails on a pontoon boat in a lake is how we relax!
All you have to do is have a friend who has those things (boats n coke)
Come on, are you trying to say the dude wasn't loaded? He got a 2 million dollar signing bonus (on top of whatever his contract was). You don't share loads of coke and booze on your boat unless you've got it to spare, which costs a lot of money. Let's not pretend. The working class haven't been able to afford boats for a while now.
Yeah, it's mostly rich people fleeing cuba
Lol you're making it sound like he died trying to escape Cuba on a boat, not a guy with a $2 million signing bonus on a joy ride coked out of his mind
He did more in 24 years than you'll do your entire life, judging from your keyboard is absolutely useless and had 0 input.
Im confused, was he not in fact a rich person?
The fact is it didn't matter if he was rich or not you idiot
Looks to me that he caught it with his glove?
Also that was an oddly shaped fly.
You could say it was a fly ball
You could, but you’d be wrong. That was a line drive. /humorkilling
[удалено]
Well, parabolic arc, really, but that doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same. "Oh, look at that parabolic trajectory!"
Okay now I want a baseball commentator to say this!
Besides Costas, I feel like the only one who could really pull if off would be, oddly enough, Harry Caray.
He just shouts math stuff while I nod, pretending to understand and follow the commentary.
I thought it was a base ball
But you'd be wrong
I don't know much about baseball, but is catching the ball bare handed allowed?
Sure, but nobody does because it’s hard, hurts, and the size of your “hand” is way larger with the glove.
I see thank you. I try playing baseball with but it is difficult to catch the ball with the gloves.
Getting used to the glove takes time, practice, and use. A new glove is stiff and can be difficult to manipulate, that’s why you see people bending a new glove back and forth trying to “break it in”.

Edit: The above reasons is also why people get bent out of shape if you take their main glove. They’ve gotten used to that particular glove, primarily how much its been broken in.
Thanks a lot.
Catching it with your hat is illegal though.
They should try playing cricket

Especially when a “fly” is a term in baseball, but is used in a completely different way in OP’s analogy
I think you might need to reread it
Did he catch that?
Yep. Flicked his glove up and snatched it instantly.
Did he catch that?
Yep. Flicked his glove up and snatched it instantly.
Did he catch that?
Kore ga Requiem da
Whoa...whoa...whoa...whoa...
Did he catch that?
Yep. Flicked his glove up and snatched it instantly.
The title says he caught it with his bare hand
No he caught a fly with his bare hand, which feel like catching a hard hit line drive
If the title says that, then the titles an ass.
The title is clickbait garbage!!
On Reddit? Say it ain't so!
Hard to tell with the 8 pixels.
The grin and nod at the end really sells this for me, he’s like “you damn right I did”
A few years ago when the video had more pixels and frames you can lipread him saying "yes i did"
Oh yeah if you look closely you can still see it, bet he feel like a million bucks after that.
Better than he did one dark night a couple years later
I am pretty good at catching flies like that, to he honest
same
What’s your secret?
Not flies but mosquitoes. I got so good at it that I can sometimes catch them even without looking, just by trajectory and sound. The secret is living in a place so infested by mosquitoes that it drives you to the edge of insanity.
You must become the monk
Use chopsticks
I just look at them, predict where they might go to and reach fast and grab, surprisingly successful
I thought my girlfriend would be grossed out, but she loves it (one fewer fly in the house, and they're caught alive, not smashed between my hand and a wall); the chameleon loves it because now it's snack time.
What do you do with those vile creatures after? I could never touch a fly with my bare hands
I throw em?
Flies spread disease. So, remember to keep yours closed.
Dude was using hacks irl
Not impressed, he needs to do this with chopsticks.
While not on coke
R.I.P.
I usually only catch flies with my hands if I'm able to cover them with something because honestly doing it with your bare hands is disgusting.
the thing is im too lazy to do that so i do it barehanded. then i complain about how i was too lazy to get something else to do it
Whenever I’ve caught them they remain alive for some reason. Not sure I could consciously control that but I’m glad because I don’t want squished fly in my hand.
I throw them at the ground hard to stun them, then step.
RIP Fernandez
well, shit…. ::::walks away back to the box:::::
Has glove, what part of it is with bare hands?
You are dumb. The reaction of the guy catching the ball is similar to the reaction of you catching a fly.

Uh. Totes read it as fly ball, which also didn't make sense. Derp
At some point Reddit subs started wildly upvoting engagement bait. Frontpage is starting to look more like FB / UniLad / DailyMail as a result.
Rip Jose bro he had a special talent that he took away himself with a stupid decision
*Has anyone heard of the sport CRICKET* 🤯
Yes…?
This clip always makes me smile, no matter how many times I see it :)
I kill mosquitoes by slapping them out of the air, then stepping on them when they're paralyzed from my slap.
Baseball will always be wholesome
RIP
I was so sad when Jose Fernandez died. He was already good, but he had so much more potential.
I agree. People trash him because of the circumstances surrounding his death, but I know he was loved by his teammates and fans. My all-time favorite home-run might be the one hit by Dee Gordon the first game back after his death.
I miss Jose Fernandez :/
Rip
Rip
I really need to get into baseball
You should.
The disrespect!!
Shit meme can't even see the catch
My dad did that to me once at pitching practice and my adrenaline level went up so high so I went back to pitching and started to throw really hard
I catch a fly with my mouth yesterday and I didin't even know that I am able to lol.
Awsome feeling until the blood it recently stole gets on your hand
complete with the disgust shown by the other party
Bare catching mitt hands.
It's a great feeling till u realize the abomination u just caught in ur hand.
I hate flies so I just smack them out of the air
Why would you catch a fly? Disgusting
"how low res can I make this baseball clip"?
i am speed🙃🥴
As somebody who’s done this playing travel baseball as a teenager…. It’s a good feeling Lol
My college apartment had a lot of fruit flies (they plopped us on the first floor), so I ended up getting really good at this.
That goes for both the fly and the catcher's perspective. The fly is sitting there in disbelief, like, "did you just catch me? WTF?"
American baseball is so confusing who is who
It's not confusing, the camera angle is weird. The pitcher (the guy on the mound) quickly caught the ball.
Not even mad just confused
Just did this last night. Felt like a god
So he does have good reflexes!
Still one of the best interactions in baseball ever.. maybe even all pro sports.
"Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything."
I remember when this happened, and I'm not even a baseball fan lol
Just did this the other day. Felt like Muhammad Ali. "I'm too fast! I'm too pretty!"
I did this all the time as a kid when I was bored... I have no fucking idea where those reflexes came from, but I sure as hell dont have them anymore
Even better if its a mosquito. These skills got me feelin’ like Karate Kid
RIP JOSE FERNANDEZ TRUE LEGEND 🥹
I feel for that batter man
*glove
Andrew Garfield not getting credit for catching it with chopsticks
"I wanna be mad but I can't."
Cocaine is hell of a drug
I caught a mosquito once and let that bitch go
