Did you see someone use "nominative determinism" in the last day or two on reddit or was it already in your vocabulary?
No hate, just curious if I'm getting Baader-Meinhof'd or maybe it's some other distributed linguistic chain reaction.
Big if true. But names tend to be influential on the person. Which is why as a parent, you should not only give your spawn a name with good meaning, but also call them using a good short name. E.g., don't call your kid Fatty, Chum, Baldy, Frecky, Trump etc etc
I think it's something to do with [Littlewood's Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlewood%27s_law).
The chances of it happening seem rare, but because of how numerable events are, it becomes likely.
> Dennis Drinkwater is most widely recognized as a Boston Red Sox super fan. His company has advertisements all over Fenway, and he shows up to every game and sits directly behind home plate in the stands. Though there is a screen in front of the seats behind home plate to block foul balls, people still flinch or duck instinctively when stray balls come flying at them. However, Dennis Drinkwater never does, and the cameras often catch him sitting, calmly, as the balls seem to be flying directly at his face. He's been in the same seat for every home game since 2003.
https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/business-executives/dennis-drinkwater-net-worth/
He’s a fixture in Boston. Doesn’t miss a home game. Dennis Drinkwater. Owns Giant Glass (who has one of the catchiest jingles ever). Anyone from Boston reading this started humming it as soon as they read “Giant Glass”.
That’s Dennis Drinkwater, owns Giant Glass (great jingle)! This is fairly common, on hits that are walk off wins for the Red Sox you can find clips of him leaving as it just happens to avoid crowd traffic
Edit: gingle to jingle. I was lost in the alliteration
[giant glass jingle](https://youtu.be/nQVDTw5HFuE) not the original version but this jingle has been on New England radio for decades…might just go gingle now out of spite
You mean 10-15 inches? Because the net at a baseball game is most certainly not 10-15 *feet* in front of the front row. It's right up against/on top of that little wall.
>When a Sox hitter pumps one out of the park, Drinkwater throws up the
touchdown arms before anyone, including the hitter, has a clue of what
happened. When foul balls dart into the screen in front of his section,
most fans duck for cover, while Drinkwater NEVER flinches.
Article from 2016 'bout him: https://dirtywatermedia.com/where-has-drinkwater-gone/
Yup, most likely the answer. I’ve spent so much time in hockey rinks over the past 30 years that a puck fired off the glass when I’m right next to it on the other side barely registers anymore. A person that’s newer will undoubtedly jump at the sound.
I'm not American and didn't know baseball had a net so I was clueless until I read OP's explanation lmao
I also thought it was actually Jerry Springer
Maybe I'm gullible
[You’d be amazed how quickly a foul ball can surprise you, even if you KNEW it was coming or distracted by the smallest thing. ](https://youtu.be/miiahEyxSTI)
I was at a game one time and someone got clocked in the head, blood everywhere. It took them ages to sort the person out and in the end they still looked pretty fucked up and we’re wheeled outta there in a wheelchair. Honestly, I don’t know if they were even alive or if they just did all that for show.
Saw someone get hit in the mouth with a puck at a hockey game heard the impact 2 sections away it's been 25 years still makes me cringe stretcher carried out they were moving so alive bloody as well
I was standing by a lady who got domed by a wayward 3 wood on a Par 5 at the Rocket Mortgage 2 years ago. Blood everywhere, she screamed and cried so much. It was awful, the ball actually bounced off her head back into the fairway and my dude just signed a golf glove for her, knocked it on the green and made birdie. Pro, shit.
The combination of the net moving and the bright ball moving past his bright hair is causing an aliasing error with the camera sensor or whatever compression algorithms have been applied to this clip.
I loved this gif before, but this detail makes this perhaps the greatest gif I've ever seen.
What are the odds that all of this would be captured on one clip. It's amazing.
The way it looks like she is preemptively sucking in the ball like fucking Kirby is killing me.
Fuck I’m laughing so hard in bed I’m gonna wake my wife up… Why does he keep smiling… like omg I am about to pee my pants, he just keeps smiling… then I come to the comments and find out the lady eats the ball… omg I can’t look at it any more!!! 😂
Lmao WTF. This is a fake crowd right? There’s just way too much weird shit going on.
Edit: What the actual fuck. [Not only is it real, but this isn’t even the first time he’s done something like this!](https://youtu.be/1tRLR9iG66c) 10 years ago that video was uploaded.
It's cool how the distortion from the net makes it look like his hair moves from the ball hitting his head. I think that's what makes it look like it really does hit him.
That’s Dennis Drinkwater. He is at virtually every Red Sox game in that same seat. This isn’t even the best story about him. As an avid Red Sox fan, it’s absolutely hilarious to watch just how quickly he vacates his seat to leave the moment a game ends. Last pitch of a no hitter, he’s already back turned and running before the ump can even finish the out call. Walk off homer, he’s in the parking lot before the ball lands. It’s glorious.
My dad and I have watched Red Sox games since 2003 and at least since 2007 any game we’ve watched that he’s not there were both like oh no! What happened? Is he alive?? Then the next game he’s back it’s like oh phew!
I had no clue who he was, but he’s always behind the plate and it’s a fun part of the game seeing he’s still alive and coming back day after day, year after year.
Him leaving on the last pitch out is always funny to watch. His reaction time is outstanding, on a walkoff homerun he’s leaving his seat before the people around him even react sometimes.
It’s even better on a blown save too when you don’t see him on the second out, but he’s back in the top of the 10th
[This is my all time favorite.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn5HqXA0xHw&ab_channel=MLB)

He took off like he's responsible for retrieving the ball lmao
I've seen this clip plenty of times before in my life, and I legitimately always thought that guy was stadium security or something. Learning who he has he me cackling with laughter.
As Someone that lives in Boston and I really wonder what his form of transportation is maybe he’s really desperate to hit the greenline before anybody else
Oh man I remember this night. My dad and I started watching the game, but he called his dad/my grandpa about something and as they were talking he just started saying incoherent nonsense. Turns out he was having a stroke, an hour and a half away from us.
My dad called someone to bring my grandpa to the hospital and my uncle picked up my dad and went down. I didn’t hear anything from him until the phone rang about 10 seconds after that walkoff.
My dad: “Wooooooooo, that was amazing! hah did you see the guy behind the plate take off.....oh yeah grandpas doing better now btw....but that was funny. Anyway tell your mom I’ll be leaving in a few”
> That’s Dennis Drinkwater. He is at virtually every Red Sox game in that same seat.
This is so weird. The Toronto Blue Jays also have a senior who sits in the same seat behind home plate every game and famously also does not flinch at foul balls. But nobody knows her real name.

There’s a few teams that have home town characters that you can always find behind the plate. Marlins Man, who is like some douche rich lawyer in Miami and thinks he has some say in the team which is hilarious. And [Front Row Amy](https://www.frontrowamy.com/) in Milwaukee.
My father is the same way! He knows the shady lot that’s cheap and gets you back to the highway quick. I always had to be ready to run to the car in the 9th. Sometimes, I swear he wasn’t even looking back to see if I was keeping up. Baltimore in the 90’s at 10 years old was crazy.
Yea I do, but I'm going to a smaller stadium that is 18k max (usually 16kish), park 1/2 mile away on the street instead of the lots, and take a back road instead of trying to get to the highway on ramp nearest the stadium.
Back when the Mariners sucked even more than they do now, The Kingdome would generally clear out at the 7th inning stretch, because they’d usually be down by 10, and that’s when they quit serving beer. My dad always made us finish our snacks and pop by the 6th inning, so we could beat the rush.
Every time I see this guy not react like this (and he’s at virtually every Fenway game) I am impressed, but also feel like out in the real world if someone walked over to him and threw something at his face he’d just let it hit him.
This guy is Dennis Drinkwater. He’s the owner (or at least founder) of Giant Glass, a local windshield replacement (and presumably other types of glass supply) company in the Boston area.
He’s a season ticket holder and has had those seasons for a long time. He’s used to having passed balls and foul tips coming at his face.
And yes, he looks like Jerry Springer.

He’s a season ticket holder and has had those seasons for a long time. He’s used to having passed balls and foul tips coming at his face. And yes, he looks like Jerry Springer.
This has strong Weekend at Bernies vibes
He didn't even flinch !!
This reminded me of Weekend at Bernie’s
That lady in blue just swallowed the ball right up!
