[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The guy was a rude jerk. He RAN over to the ball to get it from a woman, who was obviously about to grab it. The ball came straight for her. He's like the guy who steals your parking spot while you're right there with the blinker on or takes the last item from a bin that you're standing in front of. Terrible behavior to model for his son. What a jerk. I'd be disgusted and pissed off too if I were her. We need less people like him in society.[/quote]

I’m assuming you have never been to a baseball game [/quote]

So it's like a free for all to get the ball?[/quote]

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. There’s no dibs, there’s no “it was coming right at me so it’s mine” illogic. It’s whoever can get to it. And yes people run. What rock do you live under?[/quote]

The rock of civilized society where people don’t run around making fools of themselves over something like a baseball. [/quote]
I understand your knee-jerk reaction is to defend her because you see yourself in her (argumentative, ignorant of standard ballpark fan behavior). However, it does not appear that the ball was ever in her possession. She was no more entitled to it than anyone else, unless he removed it from her hand.

A literal child handled having the ball taken away from him after it was already in his possession better than she handled someone else’s picking it up first. [/quote]

To clarify, I was the immediate PP and a new poster. I’m not defending her. I haven’t read about what happened, but from what I gather, both adults were being ridiculous. I was more commenting on the fact that you think it should be common knowledge about how to act at a baseball game when getting a ball. Who cares about this stuff? It’s a baseball. I don’t understand the big deal. Both sides in this situation come off as ridiculous. If there’s a child involved, it should default go to them. End of discussion. [/quote]
🤦‍♀️ You’re not a baseball fan, you’re unfamiliar with the rituals of attendees at baseball games, you don’t care about getting a home run ball or understand why people who are baseball fans would want one, you “haven’t read about what happened,” and apparently haven’t watched the video of the incident…Why on earth are you even commenting???[/quote]
