Someone just posted this on FB. Okay, yes this is a total dick move on the woman's part but isn't saying there's a special place in hell for her a bit of an overreaction? And the number of people in the comments talking about how they would do her physical harm is just scary. Again, I don't condone what this woman did. It was really shitty but the reaction seems to be over the top imo.
And watching it again it came right to the little girl. There is no way around it. What a crazy lady. I will say that we went to a game earlier in the season and had seats where the balls were being thrown up by players and each time my kids would go down to get one but one woman ended up with 4. She was soooo proud of herself for amassing such a collection. LOL
I just can't even. Why would someone do that? How awful. It doesn't warrant physical harm, but I could see her being banned from that stadium or the team's games for a long while.

David is a HUGE baseball fan, HUGE. We took him to his first game last summer and a man sitting next to us caught a foul ball. He walked right up to David and handed it to him. Made his day, it's all he talked about for the next week. This woman is NOT the norm.

We go to a lot of games and usually people are cool. The woman that got the 4 balls kept going on and on about how it was her birthday. She was like 30 years old and *very* excited to get all the balls. LOL
Gross. Not to defend her but I hope she was just caught up in the moment and gave the ball to the girl moments later. Not nearly as bad but once at a Broncos game they were throwing something into the crowds and H jumped up to grab one. Turns out there was a kid sitting behind him and the kids parent was like 'oh come on' and of course he gave the kid the item right away. For the record it was just being thrown out into the crowd, not to the kid specifically so everyone was standing up jumping for them. H didn't want the item, it was never coming home with us, but sometimes it's just the thrill of catching something. Again, I'm not defending her, I just hope her address doesn't get plastered all over the internet or anything.
There's a special place in hell for oh say, child molestors, rapist etc. I don't think stealing a baseball, while pretty shitty, gets you a special seat

Hopefully those were the only 'balls' she got on her birthday. What a turd.

This is the point where I would very loudly say "I have never seen a woman this excited to have so many balls hurled at her face at once!"
no. there is absolutely a special place in hell for her. that sucked like crazy and i hope she is completely ashamed.
some fucking asshole did this to my 8 year old son in June at a Red Sox game. Everyone was chanting to her to give the ball back to my son (it was thrown by the ball boy directly to my son he dropped it and she ran over and grabbed it). My husband got up and quietly asked her to give it to our son all the while the crowd was yelling "GIVE IT BACK" etc. Well she didn't. My husband wanted to throttle her. my son was crying and people were throwing trash at her. While I wouldn't have thrown trash at her who the fuck takes a ball from a little kid. And at least this little girl got another ball. Not my son.
Disgusting. I am glad she is being publicly shamed. I only wish the douchebag at the Sox game back in June was.
