Holy Viral Video Batman - Kid Gets Hit by Albert Pujols Home run Ball


So in this last week I decided to upload a little video I had on my computer from about 3 years ago. I uploaded it to Reddit, not thinking much would happen, because I have had previously lackluster luck posting on the site. Little did I know that within 2 days the video would have over 250,000 views and climbing. The video I'm referring to is below.
 
 I have to say the experience has been pretty awesome so far. I have had a lot of compliments and likes from people who really got a kick out of the video. It was something I uploaded not to make fun of the kid getting hit by the ball, but more so because I completely related to his reaction. I have seen it time and time again from my 2-year-old son. The minute you ask if they're ok, then the water works begin. The only thing I was bummed out about is how cruel some people are towards the kid for missing the ball. Give the kid a little bit of a break folks.

 Anyway, the video is now up to about 750,000 views, and I think I'd lose it if I ended up getting to one million views. I know that may sound kind of sad, but there is something pretty cool about knowing over a million people have checked out something that you personally uploaded and are a part of. It has really inspired me to want to start a YouTube channel to create more content. I have gotten a bit of a subscriber base now with over 100 subscribers, so I know there will be a small audience that will receive my content, it's just creating solid content. That is something I will begin working on, but I'm hoping I can entertain the idea pretty seriously.

The week has been awesome, and it made me love the Internet even more. I've just been having a blast commenting and responding back to people's replies. If you haven't done so, go check out the video and comment on it. If you enjoy it and believe in me, then subscribe and maybe even follow me on Twitter. I would really appreciate it, and I have also uploaded a Thank You video because I really do appreciate it.
