NOT TOP 10 — T-ball is supposed to be a learning experience for young baseball players, and there's a lot to learn from this chaotic video posted on Twitter by Scott Warner.
Warner, founder and CEO of Utah-based company Gigg, posted a video of a home run from a recent children's T-ball game with the caption: "I love the game of baseball." He also posted it on LinkedIn with the caption: "Starting a company looks a lot like this."

The video shows all 24 seconds of a glorious, albeit confusing, home run. The batter does a full 360-degree swing and sends the ball 10 yards forward, where a group of four infielders all pounce on the ball at once. One of them sprints to first base, but the batter isn't going to first base, he decides to head straight to second.
The ball comes to the first baseman and hits him squarely in the face, sending him spinning to the ground in dramatic fashion as he holds his face as he goes down. One runner makes it across home plate as the other infield players put their hands on their knees in disappointment.
The batter rounds third and heads home, having run all of two bases in his highlight home run. The batter's teammate takes off his helmet and runs away celebrating.
Scene.
