If taking an L was a four-second clip…
The Florida Gators and TCU Horned Frogs squared off in a College World Series baseball game Wednesday, with the Gators getting the 3-2 win to advance to the Championship Series. And even though I’m a Miami Hurricanes fan, I can’t help but to pump my fist just a little bit as a resident of the Sunshine State.
But you know who isn’t pumping their fists?
This dad and his son — who I hope he bought a new video game or something to make up for this.
At one point during the game, a home run was hit by Florida, and it was the perfect opportunity for a father to catch a baseball for his two boys and share a moment with them … NAH! This dude completely screwed up the catch in embarrassing fashion, with it literally coming right at him and sliding right through his hands to slam into his chest. And then it bounced away to some other guy. Just terrible.
Oh, but it gets even worse.
After dad flubbed up the moment with his sons, he then outright falls on one of them — and I mean, literally, his entire body just comes crashing down on his kid. It nearly crushed the poor little guy.
It was such a major L … just such a major L for pops.
WATCH:
Complete whiff trying to catch a home run AND he crushes that little kid in the process.

Mistakes happen, I get that. None of us are perfect. But how do you screw up this royally?
I’m a dad myself with two daughters, so I get that sometimes mishaps happen, but I could never imagine a scenario where I miss a catch coming right at me (and if I do, it wouldn’t be anywhere this bad). And then the part where he falls on his kid … oh my God, my wife would flip out if I did something like that. Heck, my daughters — as sassy as they are — would flip out on me themselves if I did that. But luckily for them, dad isn’t out here taking many L’s. (RELATED: Seriously…?

Come on, father who crushed his son. You need to represent Dad Nation better.
