Guess thats one of the risks of hanging with Da Bleacher Bums.
Glad to hear the Cubs made good on giving the kid a ball!
You’d be unlikely to find Bleacher Bums in that section in Wrigley; it’s more likely to be the sort of yuppie scum that infect that place (and generally wouldn’t survive that sort of stunt if pulled in the other ball park in town, not that they’d ever deign to go to a game on the South Side).
In any other ballpark, surrounding fans would have badgered the 40-year old bald guy to give the ball back to the kid.
In some parks, he would have to be escorted out by guards for his own protection.
