This clip from a 2017 Boston Red Sox game has cropped up again, and it’s just too good to keep to ourselves.
Warning – it might give you a secondhand urge to cross your legs and say “Oof!”.
First pitch at Fenway park
by u/solateor in nevertellmetheodds
See! Definite oof, if ever we saw one.
The pitcher is Red Sox fan Jordan Leandre, who was called out to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the team’s first American League pennant win. The unfortunate cameraman on the other end of his pitch is Tony Capobianco of the Eagle Tribune.
These are just a few reactions from Redditors.

2 balls and 1 strike.

Imagine getting drilled in the plums on national TV and then the commentator implying that your last name means “cock and balls”.

Here’s a better look at Tony Capobianco’s point of view
My camera man @TonyCapobianco is the poor guy that took that first pitch in the McNuggets. Here’s his view of it coming in. pic.twitter.com/NVD70hiIn2

MarketingManiac208 noticed something.
He got the shot. Twice.
Perhaps Jordan had been taking lessons from 50 Cent.
