MLB Fans Were Totally Confused by This Crown-Wearing Astros Fan’s Reaction to Home Run

This fan in right field was lucky she didn’t get hit by the ball.

The Texas Rangers peppered home runs into the Minute Maid Park bleachers throughout Games 6 and 7 of the ALCS, helping overcome a 3–2 series deficit in improbable fashion to clinch a trip to the World Series. But one homer in particular really caught fans’ attention because of one fan’s reaction (or lack thereof) to the ball landing inches from her face.

Jonah Heim’s two-run blast in the fourth inning of Game 6 barely cleared the wall in right field, flying just above the outstretched glove of Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker to give the Rangers a 3–1 lead. 

But one woman sitting in the first row seemed completely unfazed by the action around her… that is, until the ball dropped right next to her. The fan wearing a crown only adds to the theater involved in this hilarious clip.

Once the ball dropped, the fan looked incredibly startled, as though she had no idea the ball was anywhere near her. And naturally, fans on social media had all the jokes.

The first row in the outfield is probably not the best place to zone out at a baseball game. Thankfully, the ball just missed her, avoiding what could’ve been a serious injury.
