It's no Man Getting Hit By Football, but it's still pretty impressive: Sun Sports reporter Kelly Nash was at Fenway Park during batting practice on Saturday before the Astros-Red Sox game, taking a photo of herself from the left outfield seats. At the very moment she snapped this selfie, somebody hit a dinger that whizzed right by her head.
"I was taking a picture of myself in the seats above the Green Monster during Red Sox batting practice," Nash tells Fox Sports. "Producer Art Dryce had called out 'heads up!' a few times while I was taking pictures around the left field section, but none of those balls actually fell close to me, so I took my chances turning my back on batting practice for a picture.
"My whole family is from Massachusetts, and I knew they would be so excited to see me working at Fenway Park, and when I went to text them the picture I noticed the baseball by my head! I laughed pretty hard when I saw such a surreal picture that I had no idea I took. I thought, you have got to be kidding me, maybe there ARE really angels in the outfield. I actually brought the movie with me on the trip and had it in my bag at the game."
Skeptics can click over to Fox Sports for Kelly's photo of the DVD Angels in the Outfield, but we don't need any more proof of that movie's miraculous powers. It saved a reporter's life AND made Joseph Gordon-Levitt a star! We're stuffing a couple of copies in our pants next time we go to A.C.
