[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like a lot of people posting on this thread aren’t familiar with baseball stadium etiquette. Everyone in the stands is free to try to gain possession of a stray ball. Whoever first gains control over the ball gets it. People aren’t supposed to pry the ball out of someone else’s hands. Sometimes two people lay hands on it at the same time; then it’s less clear who should gets possession. Adults who gain possession often give the ball to a kid.

In this particular case, the ball ricocheted off a seat in the woman’s row and landed in a seat in the row in front of her. I haven’t seen any video with an angle that definitively shows whether the woman ever got a hand on the ball. It was quite a reach for her, but she was trying to scoop it up. Meanwhile, the dad had easier access to the ball because he was in the row where it landed. It appears that he got it first. The woman was mad because her odds of getting the ball had been so good with so few people around her, and the ball was almost within her reach. However, the ball wasn’t specifically intended for her; it hadn’t been thrown to her, it was a stray ball that just happened to land near her. She’s acting like she was entitled to it. She was not.

This is just one of life’s disappointments. She handled it badly. She had no business laying hands on the dad. I don’t know if she has the intellectual capacity of a child or she’s just generally a volatile person or whether she’s experiencing serious personal turmoil right now or whether she had a little bit too much to drink that night, but she’s a very aggressive and confrontational person. She stormed over to a different guy in a different section, got up in his face and yelled at him. [/quote]

And you aren't familiar with the basic school ground etiquette, "I called it." [/quote]
