Having your picture taken and taking a picture both require a certain degree of concentration. So when you’re taking a “selfie” (and performing both of these tasks at once) you tend to be pretty oblivious to anything else going on around you. Baseball reporter Kelly Nash almost learned this lesson the hard way while she [...]
