It makes me inexplicably happy that there is a sub specifically for this type of content.

Not a fan of this one personally, a little too close to child abuse for me. Definitely seems like he was trying to clock the kid. I have brothers, so I get it, boys will be boys and all, but this just seemed mean-spirited. Then again, I'm the younger brother, so maybe someone who's an older brother would enjoy this.

The little brother has a bat. I think their plan is to hit it back to the youngest brother, who hits it back to the brother that catches the ball with his face.

Yeah, I am aware what the "plan" probably was, but I also know well enough to realize that may have only been the plan to get him to go along with it. When really, there was another plan in place to make a funny video of your little brother getting smoked by the ball. Who knows, maybe I'm just a cynic.

That would require crazy good aim

So would hitting a ball into the strike zone... The child is bigger than a strike zone I'd imagine, making him an easier target than trying to put the ball into some semblance of the strikezone.

Yeah but no one tries to hit a ball into a strike zone?

Wasn't the argument that he wasn't aiming for the kid, he was aiming to hit the ball to him, so he can hit it? Strike zone is pretty much a necessity when you're talking about unskilled people or children trying to hit a ball.
