    Phillies Fan, Rips HR Ball Away from Old Lady...(she don't look that old)

    We’ve been over the ethics of who deserves baseballs that make their way off the field of play before (consult flowchart- noted below***) and so we feel it necessary to illustrate this incident from yesterday’s Diamondbacks-Phillies game, in which a Phillyfan pushes aside an elderly woman to grab Maikel Franco’s first career home run ball.

    this is hilarious:

    a Cactus League classic between the White Sox and Angels resulted in some lucky kid walking away with a Mike Trout home run ball—and an adult walking away with a random baseball he thought was a Mike Trout home run ball.

    this is a spoiled child:

    (what's being taught here? Cry, throw a fit, tantrum and you'll get your way, tho' I do sympathize with the boy somewhat).

    An unfortunate scene unfolded in Arlington tonight as a pair of Rangers fans caught a foul ball tossed into the stands by Mitch Moreland in the eighth inning of Rangers-Yankees, then refused to give the ball to the toddler sitting next to them—instead choosing to pose for pictures and generally behave like douchebags.

    Yankees play-by-play man Michael Kay—capturing the thoughts of America for probably the first time ever—chided the couple for "rubbing it in the kid's face," and since this couple deserves to be publicly shamed for being dicks to a little kid, here they are. [YES]

    Update: Someone else eventually gave the kid a ball, and Michael Kay continued his rant about the "oblivious couple making out next to him" —
    —so the story has a happy ending



    and this, this is rather interesting:
