Things are not always as they seem

This couple was so absorbed in what they were going to do when they got home (wink wink) that they could not have cared less about the toddler.

I once basically grabbed a foul ball hit toward me at pre-game batting practice (Fenway Park) from a young kid,maybe 10 years old.Afterward I felt kinda bad so I wound up giving it to the kid.I wanted it for my nephew but the kid got to it about 1/2 second before me.It was the right thing to do.

I saw this live on the YES network. These two people are full of crap. The guy was sitting right next to the little boy who was crying. The only reason he wouldn’t have notice him is that he was too busy pawing and making out with the woman in public. For petes sake you’re at a ball game, have some awareness of the people around you and show a little class. Keep your hands off each other, give the little kid the ball (obviously everyone else around him noticed him because they they got someone in the Texas dugout to give him a ball) and go get a room. I don’t condone giving every crying little kid what he wants, but I think you should make an exception in this case being that they were at the ballgame. Michael Kay is annoying, but in this case he was right!

I never once thought that they should have given him the ball," Crystal Shore said. "We're trying to teach him he doesn't get everything every time."

Wow. Now there is a rare set of parents in this day of entitlement.

Oh darlin', as absolutely commendable as that is, y'all better homeschool that child or all your good values are likely to be erased, post haste.

Who says the kid should get the ball?

The folks who got the ball bought tickets and caught the ball, it’s their ball!

I bet that kid didn’t buy a ticket, I bet that kid has never paid for anything.

I bet he’s never worked a day in his whiny life.

Crying because no one gave him a ball that wasn’t his in the first place?

Typical liberal, looking for a handout, thinks he’s entitled.

He probably voted for Obama.

Mom has her head on right. Admirable.

[GeronL]

I know of no rule that requires those catching the ball to hand it to the nearest child.

My wife took me to a hockey game when we were dating. I told her I'd catch a Puck for her. But she said that our seats were half way up the stands, behind the goal.

During the second period, a guy made a slapshot that came right at us. Hit two seats behind me than landed under the seat of the teenage girl a seat over and behind me.

It took about 0.005seconds for me to grab it before she did.
Did I feel bad? Hell no. I promised my wife. Plus it didn't have the girls name on it.

...they told "The Today Show" on Friday.

Really? The Today Show? Slow Obama day, was it?
