Okay, I have never been to a baseball game so I don’t know crap, but didn’t he come running in from the end of the section to get the ball that was near the ladies feet? Is that a normal thing when the ball goes into the stands?

A ball in the stands is fair game and always has been.....the dad got there first so sucks being her......she’s just lucky it wasn’t some half in the bag dude with no family with him, I suspect the scenario woulda ended a whole lot different.

Kudos to the dad for de-escalating the situation, if it had been me I probably woulda thrown the ball back on the field.

It's anyone's ball, proximity to the ball means nothing.

Yup, you've never been to a ball game...

People seem to rush in from all over the stadium to get a ball in the stands.

That ball was fair game for whoever got it first.

“ Is that a normal thing when the ball goes into the stands?”

As long as the ball is loose, it’s open season. The minute the ball is picked up it’s over. The ball was loose. The dad picked it up. Karen is SOL.

That’s what I saw, but I’m not sure where she was when the ball hit the stands, either. But to me, I would think whoever touches the ball first, gets it.

International rule on foul balls is the first person that reaches the ball and has possession is entitled to keep it no matter where they were seated, end of story

Totally normal.

You are correct, you don’t know anything.
