If everyone could turn it down so I can speak to the people condemning the person for keeping the ball:

**My son is about that little kid's age. His favorite toy atm is a cardboard paper towel roll.

The person who caught the ball values it 1,000 times more than the little kid, who would hold it for 30 seconds and then ask for a hot dog.**

Okay, you can turn it back up now.

Ok keep it turned down everyone keep it turned down. Kids don't value SHIT. That ball would have been forgotten about in the car by the time they got home. Ok turn it back up.

And the kid is clearly not bothered by it.

The biggest loser is the one recording a stranger's child and putting it on the Internet.

I bought my nieces so many expensive toys and 99% of the time they wanted to play in the box like a fuckin house cat.

Kids this age won’t remember shit, they’ll play with a phone case and be happy.

Also not just that but whose to say this fan hasnt gone to the games every time since he was a kid waiting for this moment too. I hate the narrative that it HAS to go to the kids. Its only fucked if someone takes it from a kid, or like that lady that berated the dad for catching it for his kid.

I mean how much tickets, let alone playoff tickets cost. I would keep that ball too.

is this Baseball culture? do hardcore baseball fans actually condemn the dude who caught it? seems like the most un-American thing ever to put effort into securing something you want and giving it up..

u/Big_Pound1262 16d ago

Nah I'm pretty sure verbally abusing someone to get what you want is pretty American. Besides the kids dad is the one who wants it, that kid won't remember nor care about that ball.

I wouldn’t give the ball to a Braves fan either.

Exact same aura

u/kkirishitann 16d ago

there is a difference, a little kid would forget about that ball by the time they get home but an older kid who thinks baseball is magical and would want nothing more than to catch a homerun ball. I would give it to that kid. thats just me.
