This isn’t scary at all…
To give them credit, multiple teams around MLB have upgraded their stadium lights to an LED system, which allows the ball clubs to do flashy light shows whenever one of their players hits a home run. On paper, it sounds like a fantastic idea, and from the looks of it, it’s pretty cool.
However, if we’re going to turn stadium lights off to celebrate a home run, can we at least make sure that it lands first?
The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets squared off Monday and during the sixth inning of the contest, Max Muncy hit a go-ahead home run off a David Peterson pitch. It was a monster, traveling a total of 433 feet and with an exit velocity of 108 mph.

But as you see, Dodgers fans had to deal with that speed coming at them with literally no lights on.
YEEESH THAT WENT SO FAR BUT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT SO I COULDN’T SEE IT LAND https://t.co/u03IJbD2mp

Talk about terrifying.
Imagine being one of those people, staring down the ball with it appearing like it was going right their way, and as you’re about to get prepared to potentially catch it, all of the lights in the stadium turn off. And just like that, you can’t see anything. That’s exactly what happened to these fans. (RELATED: Oakland Athletics Fanbase Planning Reverse Boycott)
Let’s try to do better, Dodgers.
