Ditz!
Don’t mess with the Jandarm.
Um, no he didn’t learn anything.
He needs to become a Cubs fan.
He will be welcome at Wrigley Field.
I’ve seen this happen a few times, but I don’t recall seeing anyone tossed out for it ... though I suppose throwing things on the field will/should get ya tossed!
I’ve seen it done, but folks, if you’re throwing it back, your team is in the field and you could conk one of your own guys.
Every stadium I’ve been to has a ton of signs that says don’t throw things onto the field.
I thought that was what you were supposed to do!!!
Reminds me of the time my friend and I were sitting field level at Angles stadium. We always hated the beach balls people bring to games to bat around in the crowd because we didn’t come to the game to play with stupid beach balls. Well when one of them came near enough he pounced on it and spiked it onto the play field in order to be rid of it. Within 30 seconds two security guys appeared and escorted him out of the stadium all for a dumb beach ball.
Considering I don’t care one whit about base or any other ball, I would at least not throw it back but give it to somebody like a kid nearby who would like it.
rules are rules but....but the coaches\players\ballboys-girls can throw balls into the stands.
In some stadiums that’s the tradition. Good ol baseball, a stack of unwritten rules high enough to make sure everybody breaks one.
I never got this. If I have to pay $10+ beers I am keeping anything I catch.

back in the mid ‘90’s when I lived in San Diego some dolt in the Padre’s organization had a “signed ball giveaway” promotion for a day game. Against the Cubs. THOUSANDS of Cubs fans show at every game.
A Padre hit a homer.
Several hundred, if not thousand balls were thrown onto the field.
It was pretty hilarious.
“Thanks, dad!”
He’s gonna go to another game after that?
The publicity he’s getting is definitely worth the ejection. I bet he never has to buy a ticket or beer at the stadium again.
They don’t want players or anyone else getting hit in the back of the head. Besides, it should have only taken 3 seconds to find a dozen kids in the stands who wanted the ball.
It is America’s game.
If I had $1 for every baseball I have seen returned to the field of play when I was watching my sons play ball, I could buy season tickets to a major league team’s games. When my brothers were playing, a ball returned earned a free snow cone.
