So THAT'S why they wear helmets in baseball.

A high school baseball coach promised his team that if they won 14 games in a row, they could name his baby. They were not doing well this season so he must have thought it was a long shot. Well, they did it and they want to name him Benjamin Smalls, after two characters from The Sandlot.

At least the parents of the batter can be proud, sliding technique WIN!

It's okay to laugh. After all, they're not YOUR kids.
