Video of a touching series of events from a major league baseball game went mega-viral after a man gave his prized foul ball to a kid sitting nearby in the stands.
The incident unfolded at the game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Kansas City Royals in Anaheim, California.
A player on the Royals threw a baseball into the crowd, and a man caught it. After a moment of celebration, the man tossed it to a young boy sitting near in front of him.
Later in the game, the boy got a chance to pay him back.
The boy's father was able to catch a home run ball that was coincidentally hit right in his area and he handed it to his son. After a few moments of celebrating, the kid pointed back the man and tossed the ball back at him.
The man was genuinely surprised as the crowd cheered them both on.

Thanks, we don’t usually see a lot of things like this anymore.
I know baseball has gone woke, but it’s moments like this that restore a man’s faith in humanity.
There’s some great Youtube videos showing nice things like this at baseball games......
Somebody raised their kid right.
Nice to see the real America on display.
A foul ball and a homerun in the same line of seats? (The excerpt said the boy was sitting in from of the man who caught the foul ball.) Hope the fair/foul pole did not interfere with anybody watching the game.
Go ahead, make my day. This story did. An uplifting break from the contention.
Just beautiful.
Kids
How great is that! In Japan, the crowd isn’t allowed to keep the ball and it is thrown back to the umps.
There are kids whose gender was “settled” when they were born and are happy with it. Now, they can act like kids and grow up to be great adults and parents. The kid is a great American. I salute him.
Both of them!
Sweet!
You’re both right.
Something not seen at NFL games these days.
Boys need men to show them how to act. Show them kind behavior they will be kind. Teach them gangster behavior they will be gangsters. Too many gangsters, not enough men.
Things used to be like this until politics and closet commies in the 60’s got serious about destroying any innocence and integrity in America. Every institution has been infiltrated and soured by their hate masquerading as equality and justice.
People are too dumbed down and screwed up to see that none of what they promise ever happens because those commies are the ones keeping justice and anything resembling equality from happening. Good things can’t be legislated, they come naturally from the hearts of good people.
The man caught a ball tossed up by a player. If they were sitting in foul ground the home run would not have been a home run, it would've been a foul ball.
When I was a kid, I got a dime for returning a foul ball at local semi-pro games.
