Abraham Almonte catches a fly ball despite sun's pathetic attempt otherwise
Almonte catches fly ball in spite of the sun
The sun: humankind's greatest friend or mortal enemy? I mean, sure, for every bit of heat and light it provides, there's the whole turning-into-a-red-giant-and-burning-us-alive-before-exploding thing.
On Sunday, Padres outfielder Abraham Almonte fought back. After successfully battling the sun for a fly ball, Almonte got an interesting idea. Rather than simply face the sun with his eyeballs, why not get a little man-made protection:
"Hey, guys! Guys! You got some, uhh, peepers? You know, sun peepers? Ugh, what's the word. Sun peeper thingies?"
So next time you want to interfere with a fly ball, Mr. Celestial Body that all planets circle, think again.
Also, if the human race still exists in 5 billion years, why not just coat the atmosphere in sunglass material? I mean, I'm not a scientist but they've got UV protection.
