[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched that video very carefully. It appears the ball landed practically in front of her.

She's in the process of grabbing the ball when the man snatches it right under her hands. She was within inches of the ball, when the man stuck his arm across her body and grabbed it.

He had to race across several sections, to reach her section. He likely began running as soon as he realized the vicinity where it would land.

Now, I'm sorry, but that is tacky and ill mannered. Complete lack of civility. It's one thing when the ball lands near you and everyone reaches for it at the same time. One person will make contact with it, and the rest will good naturedly concede that individual is the winner.

In this case, the ball was going to land completely out of his section. Totally. He raced across several sections to get to the ball, which was landing right in front of this woman. She gleefully reached for it, but he aggressively snatched it right from under her.

I don't blame her for getting angry. He was a jerk. However, I would have let it go. If I were having a really, really bad day with my defenses down, I likely would have done exactly what she did. Most of the time I'm good natured, but you push me hard enough on a bad day and I will tear you a new face. That is what she did.

I don't go to baseball games, but my understanding is you don't race across several sections to reach the ball before it's taken by the people in the vicinity where it drops.[/quote]

You’re wrong. I do go to baseball games. People run, clamor and fight for these balls. It’s stupid but he did what everyone does when it’s not sold out and they can run to another section. They do. He just got it before she did. It happens all the time where the ball bounces or whatever and the people right there don’t get it. There’s no “etiquette” here where you leave it to the people in that section, especially when it’s sparse attendance. [/quote]
Thank you! It was clear PP wasn’t a baseball fan before they even got to the last few sentences. The balls are a free-for-all and she lost. If he’d actually snatched it out of her hands, that would be one thing, but she just wasn’t fast enough. [/quote]
