Guess that’s one of the risks of hanging with Da Bleacher Bums.
Glad to hear the Cubs made good on giving the kid a ball!
holycrap what a douchebag- and the people around him too
Bet there’s two sides to this story... Welcome to our age of Judgment Porn.

When I was 9, I lost a foul ball to an adult, and didn’t get anything but a lesson in survival of the fittest.
That kinda thing would not happen at a NASCAR Race. Saturday after winning the Busch Race, Eric Jones Won, took the Checkered Flag from the Flag Man waved it and then handed it back through the fence to a Kid. No Adult would dare take the Checkered Flag from a Kid because there would be a riot.
What a scumbag! If it’s a foul ball and the adult ends up with it to take home to his kid that’s one thing, but when the ball was clearly tossed to the little kid and the adult grabs it and keeps it, that makes him a scumbag.
I am a grown man. While I might possibly get a kick out of leaving a major league ballpark with a ball, it wouldn’t really have any impact on my life if I did or did not.
What would really make me happy — and be something that would be a fun story to tell — would be to get my hands on an official ball and then hand it to a kid. I bet that would be a fun memory for him that would last for years. It would make my day if I could do that.
Self centered jerk....plus he looks proud of himself
He probably voted for Hillary.
The Shitcago way!
Either this whole story is BS or Fox News totally missed it. They just said the man behind the child had already got a foul and gave it to the child. Then he got a second one which he kept. Always spinning the story to create monsters.
The kid didn’t lose a foul ball to a dork ... the player tossed it to the boy and then the dork picked it up. Foul ball is fair game ... a ball tossed by a player directly to a kid should go to the kid.
For the TIM TEBOW watchers...
