Videos you should watch twice

There are times when I find a short, interesting video that has too many things to notice in one sitting. Here are two fun examples of that; neither is very new, but they’re both very entertaining.

Softball

In this video, the team at bat is in the final inning, two outs, down by two. They hit a grounder to short with a toss to second, but the ump calls the runner safe. The team in the field didn’t realize it and they proceed to celebrate. This video is honestly worth watching four times.

1. The first time, just watch to see the chaos.
2. The second time, watch the pitcher. She grabs the ball and throws it home, hoping a catcher will pop into existence like Field of Dreams. When the catcher doesn’t materialize, she just stands there and watches it all unfold and makes no effort to help out.
3. The third time, watch the catcher. She goes and “celebrates” with her teammates, then runs back to the plate to find the ball, then just stands there facing the wrong way and blocks her teammate.
4. Finally, watch the left fielder. She seems to be literally the only one paying attention. She yells at the team to keep playing, then she sprints in to cover third (and keep the game tied) when the pitcher chucks it home. Then she runs home to get the ball (because the pitcher is apparently done trying), grabs the ball, runs toward the plate in time to make the tag and is promptly blocked by her own catcher.
