I've seen this a bunch of times, and I always wonder, did someone go slap that daffy bitch after she pulled that shit or did she get to walk away with the ball that little girl should have had?

[–]wtfamireadingdotjpg 86 points87 points ago

I believe the team signed a ball and gave it to the girl after this game if I remember correctly, too tired to find a source at 7 am. The video hit national news, the woman was ridiculed by every channel I saw it featured on.

[–]mikek3 59 points60 points ago

Yeah, the team did the right thing for the kid. And yes, the woman got hammered by the media.

Someone should post it to /b. Justice will be served.

[–]Lang0rs 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the info. I work nights and I am just now seeing this. Good to know the little girl didn't walk away empty handed because of that hag.

[–]SammyLocked 48 points49 points ago

I remember seeing this before and saw a link (don't recall what it was though) saying that the crowd booed her a lot. They'd cut the camera to her every now and then during the game, and every time they did, the crowd would boo some more. Apparently she got so upset she left.

Good riddance.

[–]manaworkin 9 points10 points ago

Her punishment is this gif/video. She is now the mean woman who stole the ball from the child and she will live with that stigma long after that child grows to be an adult.

It's always nice to be appreciated!

[–]GummyDeath 0 points1 point ago

I wondered that as well. Was she there with a school group or something? I'm amazed there wasn't a parent in that lady's face ASAP. I can see that they wouldn't want to cause a confrontation in front of the kid, but couldn't one of the parent's taken the kiddos to the concession stand while the other went to shove one of those foam fan fingers up the lady's ass?

[–]wtfamireadingdotjpg 1 point2 points ago

Agreed, where's the angry parent? Even telling a kid to put a breakable object down in my store causes massive parent aggro (even got into a fistfight on Christmas because I told a 5 year old kid nicely to not play with a glass statue, the mother screamed at me and the dad proceeded to hit me).

[–]GummyDeath 0 points1 point ago

Read this as "Angry Planet"... Maybe I watch too much TV :\

[–]oshout 0 points1 point ago

YUR TAKIN MAH BALLS!!

I'd kill for it.

[–]gmoneymillionare 44 points45 points ago

Whoever high-fived her should have back handed her instead.

[–]red_05 5 points6 points ago

If this would have happened, I would have enjoyed it so much. Instead it just made me mad.

That was a great case of getting crap past the censors. I was watching that movie with a history major, and she lost her shit when he said that.

[–]noiche 28 points29 points ago

Dude. Wtf.

[–]ispeakcanadian 13 points14 points ago

To renew your faith in humanity.

[–]Prep_ 1 point2 points ago

From the hug, I'd guess he was the father of that little girl. A little different.

But anyway, I feel sad for that man. It wasn't a homerun and it was even hit by the home team "Y U NO KEEP FOUL BALL?"

[–]j_gagnon 4 points5 points ago

He is the father. But she gave him a gift better than a foul ball; the dude got to be on SportsCenter for the better part of a week.

[–]Prep_ 2 points3 points ago

Haha, good point. I hadn't thought of that.

[–]ispeakcanadian 2 points3 points ago

Oh yes, that's definitely the father of the girl. I also think the team gave the guy a ball and he was on a bunch of late night talk shows talking about it.

[–]Prep_ 2 points3 points ago

I wish something bad would happen to me at a ballgame so I could get free shit and publicity. Goddamn.

He and his daughter were also on Tosh.0, giving her a "web redemption"

[–]rstaubach_12 13 points14 points ago

I've seen crap like this soo many times over the years at games. It's amazing what people will do for a baseball, I'll bet she threw this away or lost it and that kid would have had it sitting on a shelf in her room.

[–]CANDLE_IN_MY_PEEHOLE 21 points22 points ago

This kid is a brilliant example, though.

[–]somethingnotclever 27 points28 points ago

Whoever wrote that "article" needs to be shot.

[–]HMPoweredMan 13 points14 points ago

"The announcers are shocked and award Nicholas with gifts and a contract. This all seems to good to be true because it is. Unfortunately, the park employee told Ian to give the ball to Nicholas. After finding out what truly occurred Ian returned was forced to return all of his gifts."

Not so much :(

[–]rjp0008 8 points9 points ago

Geez why did they take away all his stuff? I mean he caught the ball right? Even if it was meant specifically for someone else and someone told him to give it away he didn't have to. Poor kid losing out on the ball and that autographed bat. Actually... as I'm typing this out I refuse to believe that someone actually thought that taking the gifts back was a good idea and followed through, did they mention it in the video?

[–]DisregardMyComment 2 points3 points ago

Last I checked, no one asked the kid to return anything. His gesture is still well-appreciated and talked about.

[–]rjp0008 2 points3 points ago

Not sure if relevant username or not. FryFace.jpg

[–]LaJollaJim 0 points1 point ago

You can see the employee telling him to give it back. I saw it the first time I saw this on reddit, then again, and again ...

"That is the opposite of the woman in Houston." I love how she is now the example of greed in baseball fans.

"Oh you almost cried after watching this heart warming act?? FUCK YOU DOWNVOTED!"

Yet you get upvoted for pointing it out, while he/she is still getting downvoted. Way to go Reddit.

he could have told that employee 'nope'

EDIT watch this video

[–]vaselinepete 5 points6 points ago

What a cunt.

[–]Prep_ 3 points4 points ago

On the topic, can we at least all agree that this story and its resulting backlash is complete bullshit? The amount of ridicule these people suffered was atrocious and I felt embarrassed as a baseball fan.

[–]itimedout 4 points5 points ago

You could tell they had now idea that boy was throwing a fit because he didn't get the ball. It's not like OP's video where that woman ripped it out of the child's hands, they didn't even look at him. Definitely 100% bullshit.

[–]Prep_ 4 points5 points ago

I agree. And even if they knew the kid was crying, so what? They're in no way obligated to give up a foul ball they grabbed just because a kid is nearby. I'm so tired of kids thinking that wanting something means they deserve it.

I know I won't be giving up a homerun or foul ball to any kid but my own child. Fuck them and their attempts to rob me of my sacred memory. Let them make their own.

[–]-MD- -5 points-4 points ago

Sacred memory? Fuck off you cunt, it's a child.

[–]SergioSF 2 points3 points ago

Thanks for bringing this up. As a 25 year old man I plan on throwing the same fit should a ball land in my nearby seating area and I not catch it. A meme will be born.

[–]noseonarug17 1 point2 points ago

I'm at school; can't watch the video. What's the BS of it?

[–]Prep_ 6 points7 points ago

Mitch Mooreland throws a foul ball about 8 rows into the stands from the foul line. Ball clatters around and an adult couple picks it up and celebrates, taking pictures, kissing, etc.

Meanwhile, next to them a small boy is crying because he didn't get the ball. And the kid was being held by his father and was never really in contention to catch the ball. The Yankees announcer proclaimed them to be bad people and even went to far as to call the woman a "gold-digger" saying "As soon as his money is gone, she'll be gone too." The whole thing blew up into a shitstorm about how terrible the couple was for not giving the kid the ball.

[–]ThundarrtheRedditor -1 points0 points ago

Can't watch it on mobile. But I bet it's infuriating.

[–]shannontara 1 point2 points ago

video

[–]drivec 1 point2 points ago

It could be worse. She could've stolen the ball then high-fived the little girl.

[–]PoliceBoxOfBlue 1 point2 points ago

A similar thing happend to me and my dad. A fly ball was heading towards the higher deck and the ball landed at my dads feet he sat on it and the guy behind use grabbed the ball out from under him.

[–]Nicxtrem99 6 points7 points ago

I wish she get a ball hit to her face.

[–]HalfGingGhost 1 point2 points ago

This woman is a bad human being, to say the least.

[–]DMYTRIW 0 points1 point ago

This guy just caught back to back homers at a Reds v Bosoxs game. He gave both balls away. One to the batter because it was his first LB homer, the other to his friend that gave him the ticket for the game.

[–]FloatYerBoat 0 points1 point ago

We must find her and make her suffer.

[–]roadtojoy 0 points1 point ago

This kind of stuff sucks to experience. I got to see my favorite band around the time of my birthday. I had gotten a couple responses on twitter before the show from a couple of the band members. One of them somehow recognized me from my picture on twitter. After the show, he was going to hand me the set list. I was 2-3 people back in the crowd. I'm a decently tall guy (6'2") and as soon as it was near my hand some short fucker jumped up and took it from me. He turned around, smiled at me, and walked off. I have never wanted to strangle somebody so badly in my life. I still get infuriated just thinking about it.
