Baseball Crowd Absolutely Loses It After Little Girl Nails Bottle Flip In Heartwarming Viral Video
Baseball is considered our national pastime here in the U.S. It's a sport that fans are incredibly passionate about; and you'd be hard pressed to find fans more devoted and involved than Yankees fans.
That's especially true during critical moments - like the bottom of the 9th inning during a tied game with a runner on 2nd base when the person at bat could be the deciding factor.
That tension is the sort of moment baseball movies are built around.
Except literally none of that mattered at the recent Yankees/Astros game because the crowd was way too invested in the edge-of-your-seat action going on in the stands.
The athletes on the field paled in comparison to the raw talent on display in the seats.
That potentially game-changing hitter had nothing on the game-changing flipper who held the crowd in the palm of her little hand.
The grit, the guts, the glory.
\u201cThis girl had the whole section rooting for her bottle flip\u201d— Gleyber With No Brim (Corey) (@Gleyber With No Brim (Corey)) 1656276704
We don't know the little girls name or age - but we do know she's an incredible athlete.
Her focus and commitment to the game, no matter how many rounds she lost, pulled the attention of crowd in her area away from the action in the outfield.
Baseball fans love a good come-from-behind win, so when she finally nailed a flip, the crowd went wild.
And Twitter is right there with them.

\u201c@Saquon_Gleyber Aww now THATS a feel good moment. A little girl doing something very small but everyone cheering after she gets it to stand upright. What an amazing crowd. \ud83d\udc4f. I prob would have had the same reaction \ud83d\ude0a\u201d— Gleyber With No Brim (Corey) (@Gleyber With No Brim (Corey)) 1656276704

\u201cThis is how you honor children. This is how you affirm a child\u2019s innocence. This is how you treat children. I love this for her. More of this should happen to help boost young confidence and self-esteem early.\u201d— \ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffd (@\ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffd) 1656337404
\u201c@Saquon_Gleyber I need to see things like this every day to challenge my conviction that the human race is doomed to self-distruct. Thank you\u201d— Gleyber With No Brim (Corey) (@Gleyber With No Brim (Corey)) 1656276704
Though, some people wanted to point out that this clip is adorable, but doesn't exactly make baseball look interesting.
If the most exciting part of the most exciting inning of the game can be so easily overshadowed by a bored 3rd grader fidgeting with a water bottle ...
Yeaaaah...
\u201cif you\u2019re curious how exciting baseball is\u201d— grove\ud83d\udd6f (@grove\ud83d\udd6f) 1656348395
\u201c@Saquon_Gleyber Cute moment but with all due respect\u2026 if this ain\u2019t a sign of how incredibly boring the baseball experience has become, idk what is.\u201d— Gleyber With No Brim (Corey) (@Gleyber With No Brim (Corey)) 1656276704
\u201cAll this proves is that baseball is boring af\u201d— AlukardNY (@AlukardNY) 1656380579
\u201cBaseball be so boring so they had to find something better to cheer for lmao\u201d— HugoS (@HugoS) 1656356390
\u201c@Saquon_Gleyber That's so cool that the crowd got involved like that for her. Really sweet. That's also exactly how interesting a baseball game is....\u201d— Gleyber With No Brim (Corey) (@Gleyber With No Brim (Corey)) 1656276704
Our sincerest congrats to this kid for being a super rad bottle flipper and for making baseball more fun.
Being the MVP of a game you're not even playing in is a huge flex, kid.
We're into it.
