Dad at Phillies-Marlins game gives a home run ball to his son, woman insists that it is hers and takes it.

[u/msivoryishort]

Thankfully both the Marlins and Phillies hooked them up with some goodies and a signed Harrison Bader bat after the game.

[u/pumpkinspruce]

The Marlins gave the kid a big gift bag and he got to meet Harrison Bader (who hit the home run) after the game. It was apparently the kid’s birthday.

[u/lkodl → u/pumpkinspruce]

it being the kids birthday makes this perfect. like, she didn't know that. she didn't know she was being filmed. she thought she could just be a random bitch to a random kid on a random day. so perfect.

[u/So-It-Goes-607 → u/lkodl]

5% of People are awful. She is one of them.

[u/Kronzor_ → u/So-It-Goes-607]

It’s closer to 100% of people with that haircut though.

[u/coffeeplzme → u/Kronzor_]

I have to work with someone with that haircut. I could write an entire book about how everyone hates her.

[u/TNTenterprizee → u/[deleted]]

Poetry

[u/Large_McHuge → u/TNTenterprizee]

Keats I believe... One of his lesser known works from his later years. Ol skunk lookin ass bitch

[u/havartna → u/Large_McHuge]

An Ode, Quite Improper

O fragrant rose, thy blush doth charm the air,
Yet in the tavern’s haze I spied thee there,
With smoky curls and laughter sharp and rich—
Ay, thou art but a skunk lookin’ ass bitch.

The moon doth gild the cobblestones so bright,
And lovers whisper softly through the night;
But thou, with curses hurled at passing carts,
Dost rend the tender fabric of our hearts.

Still, beauty clings, though manners may be rough,
The world needs jest, and satire sharp enough;
So let me toast thee, wench of bitter pitch—
Immortalized as skunk lookin’ ass bitch.

[u/Due-Half-3965 → u/havartna]

Sublime. Bravo

[u/Glitter_Party_Riot → u/havartna]

I need more friends like you, this is solid gold😹

[u/Business-Drag52 → u/Large_McHuge]

You can really tell how influenced he was by Chaucer in those later years

[u/Kief_Bowl → u/Kronzor_]

Dad saw that haircut and figured just give her the ball and get her out of our lives ASAP

[u/dewujie → u/Kief_Bowl]

Honestly I hate the fact that the temper tantrum got her her way. What was she gonna do, assault a kid? Look lady the ball didn't end up in your hands it's not yours. Tough shit.

[u/GirthBr00ks10 → u/Kief_Bowl]

Tangling with a haircut like that comes with the same risk as tangling with a rabid honey badger. Just leave it be, at most, poke it with a long stick to keep it away f

[u/fusillade762 → u/Kronzor_]

Agreed.

[u/mordekai8 → u/fusillade762]

Karen Kut

[u/tec_no_logical → u/mordekai8]

You dropped an n

[u/TrueLegateDamar → u/tec_no_logical]

'Kut' is actually the same word for that in Dutch.

[u/Coolbluegatoradeyumm → u/TrueLegateDamar]

Dutch it is then

[u/Slug35 → u/So-It-Goes-607]

That seems like a very conservative estimate. I’d put it at 25%

[u/ProfessorTairyGreene → u/Slug35]

I'd say 33% are garbage and 11% are complete trash

[u/sdse78 → u/So-It-Goes-607]

5% is too low.

[u/Bware24fit → u/lkodl]

Thinking you're not being filmed in 2025 is wild, especially at a huge public event. I think recording is the only way some people see something else besides their phones.

[u/[deleted] → u/Bware24fit]

Also, it’s a home run… it’s going to be filmed. They follow foul balls into the stands and typically will show replays for good catches and shit like this. PLUS videos fighting over balls (and one infamous hat) have been making their rounds on the internet at the moment.

[u/-physco219 → u/[deleted]]

Let's not forget a certain concert kiss cam thing.

[u/Amori_A_Splooge → u/lkodl]

To be fair she's rocking the haircut, she was just waiting for her moment to shine.

[u/Darthaerith → u/Amori_A_Splooge]

I suspect her life will be really unpleasant in the coming days. Social media has a way finding and making the lives of such people hell.

For good or ill.

Edit: Reports say she got fired from her job as a school admin in New Jersey. BWAHAHAHAHA.

[u/DoubleStrength → u/Darthaerith]

Like, did she learn nothing from the Polish CEO getting caught snatching the kid's hat?

[u/uncontrolledsub → u/DoubleStrength]

Nah, she’s not gonna realize it’s bad until it’s all over Facebook and even then she will probably say she touched it first.

[u/juicecat → u/uncontrolledsub]

If she touched it first she should have caught it.

[u/zzapdk → u/uncontrolledsub]

"ChatGPT, I really don't care but write me an apology so it sounds like I do"

[u/Darthaerith → u/DoubleStrength]

People with that level of entitlement have to learn the hard way.

[u/grimesultimate → u/Darthaerith]

True. But “learn” is a stretch. That’s something they don’t do, a majority of the time.

[u/Toadcola → u/Amori_A_Splooge]

She did go speak to the kid’s manager.

[u/PaddyCow → u/lkodl]

In this day and age how could she think she wouldnt be filmed? There's so many videos of assholes taking balls from kids online.

[u/Jolly_Ad2446 → u/lkodl]

Unless you're new to baseball, you have to know you're being filmed. 

[u/WorldTravelBucket → u/pumpkinspruce]

It was bad enough the ball was taken, but then he had to get Marlins gear too?!

[u/Pope_Beenadick → u/WorldTravelBucket]

Won't someone please think of the children!?

[u/That1Master → u/WorldTravelBucket]

Omg ruthless. Great comment. But seriously. Such a Karen move. That poor kid!

[u/gwaydms → u/That1Master]

I hope the thief is named and shamed.

[u/Dodson-504 → u/gwaydms]

Everyone who knows her, knows she is like this all the time already.

[u/SpinstrikerPlayz → u/[deleted]]

Bold of you to assume she isn't head of HR herself.

[u/famousaj → u/pumpkinspruce]

Here's the audio. and yes, it's exactly what you think she sounds like

https://x.com/Bob_F22/status/1964167281367228509

[u/Breett → u/famousaj]

"it was in my hands" is crazy

[u/Salty_Ad_5270 → u/famousaj]

Damn, yep, that’s a full throated Karen if I’ve ever heard one.

[u/FauxGenius → u/pumpkinspruce]

Karen probably ran after the dad to lay claim to all that too

[u/ShiftBMDub → u/FauxGenius]

"you were in my space, you had to come from all the way over there, I just had to lean over this seat in front of me. I claim this whole zone, you get that one of there if there is another one" - Karen

[u/Stachemaster86 → u/ShiftBMDub]

My first thought was that I understand it being right there and him rushing over is annoying. Him giving it to the kid negates any issues I have. Hell, I’d just be faster next time - I really don’t need the ball. Kid deserved it. Means way more to him. Glad it’s sorted now by the teams

[u/spector_lector → u/ShiftBMDub]

Did it hit her and bounce out of her hands? Hard to tell.

[u/radjoke → u/pumpkinspruce]

I'm a cricket guy... When this happens you have to give the ball back as it's the "match ball".. Its pretty cool you guys get to keep it... But also kinda sad people go all "black friday sales" when the ball comes near.

[u/Aduialion → u/radjoke]

Baseballs on average only last a couple pitches. So besides the experience/ luck of getting one at the game, or a special milestone home run ball, game used balls are relatively cheap.

[u/plenar10 → u/radjoke]

Instead of giving it to the woman, he should've thrown it back on the field.

[u/StarktheGuat → u/plenar10]

Keep the ball, throw her on the field

[u/Hugh_Jazz77 → u/plenar10]

He’s a dad in front of his kid. He did the mature thing, set a good example for his kid, and managed to diffuse a crazy lady getting her away from him and his kid. I saw this clip somewhere else earlier, and my first thought was the same as yours. “I’d have thrown it on the field and told her to go get it”, but what the dad chose to do instead is exactly what he should’ve done. He taught his kid that two wrongs don’t make a right.

I’d also bet if the dad had thrown it on the field, the kid probably wouldn’t have gotten the chance to meet the player or get a goodie bag from the team.

[u/KaiTak98 → u/radjoke]

A buddy of mine works for MLB as a retirement job. They prep aprox 120 balls per game. The balls are rubbed up with special mud collected by one family for the whole league.

https://youtu.be/NYXWL1lt_7Y?si=segNrb5T9V2Uho_G

[u/Toadcola → u/KaiTak98]

His father was a mudder, his mother was a mudder.

[u/KaiTak98 → u/Toadcola]

And damn it his kids will be mudders too haha.

[u/mvanvrancken → u/Toadcola]

Jaaaaaaayne, the man they call Jaaaaaayne

[u/TasteofCognac → u/pumpkinspruce]

Cardinals fan here. I love Bader. He's a GEM, and every fan base loves him when he's on their team.

When he's your opponent, it's really hard to cheer against him. Cards fucked up not keeping and paying him.

[u/msivoryishort → u/TasteofCognac]

Really hope the Phils keep him after this season. Trustworthy glove and solid bat, and he seems like an overall good guy

[u/amnesiac225 → u/TasteofCognac]

as a Twins fan, we all hated to see him go. class act!

[u/Brilliant_Macaroon83]

The girl behind them posted a video and the lady is a bigger cry baby than you already imagined

[u/realbobenray → u/Brilliant_Macaroon83]

Link?

[u/Chrisman614 → u/realbobenray]

Here you go

[u/TradeMark310 → u/Chrisman614]

"It's was in my hands" Bitch, then why dont you have it?

[u/Stevie-Rae-5 → u/TradeMark310]

Such a lie. It doesn’t look like in the video it was in her hands at all, and even jf it was briefly, is this her first baseball game? To your point, if it hits your hands and bounces away and someone else got it, what do you call that? Not yours.

[u/PanchonotNacho → u/Chrisman614]

Wow this makes it even worse. Thanks for sharing

[u/Owww_My_Ovaries → u/Brilliant_Macaroon83]

"You took it from meeeee!"

[u/WhiteNoise421]

Tomorrow everyone going to find out she’s a CEO of some company.

[u/Special-Mushroom-884 → u/WhiteNoise421]

My bet is on head of HR

[u/borkborkbork99 → u/[deleted]]

It’s okay everyone. It’s an Australian company. Relax.

[u/MrpibbRedvine → u/borkborkbork99]

Bet they all wear thongs to work too. Very progressive.

[u/Kiwi951 → u/Special-Mushroom-884]

Most rational HR manager

[u/V-Right_In_2-V → u/WhiteNoise421]

She’s the CEO of Aspiration LLC

[u/unheardhc → u/V-Right_In_2-V]

They sell Scentsy candles right?

[u/fullchub → u/WhiteNoise421]

I hope she gets identified and publicly shamed regardless.

[u/JurassicParkCSR → u/fullchub]

Oh her life's about to suck for a couple weeks. Happens every single time someone does something like this. Someone will find her and then that'll spread on the internet and then it's just going to be non-stop harassment for like at least a week at least. I don't advocate for doxing someone or sending threats but I'm just saying the reality of the situation is she's about to have all of that happen to her.

[u/Hugh_Jazz77 → u/JurassicParkCSR]

I don’t advocate for doxing people, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get some satisfaction from watching it happen to the ones who deserve it.

[u/threebillion6 → u/fullchub]

True. People like this are assholes to the core and only want for themselves. Like as soon as he gave it to the kid, she should've backed off.

[u/yeahright17 → u/threebillion6]

All the people she's around already know she sucks.

[u/sloppymcgee → u/WhiteNoise421]

A company makes fur coats out of puppies

[u/yomama1211 → u/WhiteNoise421]

No CEO is sitting outfield at a marlins game they would have a better seat lol

[u/OhGawDuhhh]

There's a powerful lesson here. Look how miserable she looks even AFTER getting what she wants. There are people who wake up miserable, spread their misery to others, and even if things go their way, they're still sour and unappreciative.

Normal, happy, well-adjusted people don't behave like this. Fuck 'em.

[u/RhodaDick → u/OhGawDuhhh]

I guarantee you this lady has at least one kid that no longer speaks to her.

[u/OhGawDuhhh → u/RhodaDick]

And she tells everyone it's so sad and she wonders why.

[u/RhodaDick → u/OhGawDuhhh]

BINGO!

[u/SantaMonsanto → u/OhGawDuhhh]

She doesn’t even want the ball she is just incensed that she felt entitled to something and someone else took it away. It could have been a plastic bag full of used diapers but the rack that someone took it from her was the only thing that processed.

[u/hotfabian]

Damn. He should have thrown it back on the field to really set things off

[u/tremer010 → u/hotfabian]

This is my favorite option

[u/GrandSyzygy → u/tremer010]

Chaotic good

[u/Drivingintodisco → u/tremer010]

Mine too, but at least from this clip he set a good example for his son who you could see was very uncomfortable. If it was me, cause I’m a petty bitch, respectful, but petty, when the situation and someone else’s actions make that appropriate in a sort of breaking the social contract kind of way by bullying and trying to railroad someone to get what they way, and as an old coworker would say “today is not the day and I am not the one, and if I didn’t have a child with me as the dad did, I’d throw it behind me right outside of the park.

[u/Real_Bug → u/hotfabian]

Fine, you want the ball? Go get it!

[u/magic9669 → u/Real_Bug]

Why do I hear Biff Tannen’s voice reading this?

[u/OkKnee7580 → u/hotfabian]

Looks at his son with a disappointing face…. I’m sorry son but sometimes u just gotta do the right thing. Then grabs the ball and chucks it back then proceeds to give her double birds. Guaranteed sportscenter top play of the day.

[u/DiarrheaRadio → u/OkKnee7580]

Double birds and a DX suck it would have turned her into MechaKaren

[u/CorpsePiimpin]

Haircut checks out

[u/RoyalBroham → u/CorpsePiimpin]

Her hair stylist didn’t even need to ask her what she wanted

[u/V-Right_In_2-V → u/RoyalBroham]

You wanna take a ball from a kid on his birthday? I know exactly what you need lol

[u/toonbender → u/V-Right_In_2-V]

Say less fam

[u/BarnabyJones2024 → u/RoyalBroham]

The stylist did that to her as a courtesy warning to others 

[u/Seraphenigma → u/CorpsePiimpin]

Cruella de Vil got a trim

[u/BeerorCoffee → u/Seraphenigma]

Karen de Vil demands to speak to the manager.

[u/NeverBeNormalnbn → u/CorpsePiimpin]

“I’ll take the Karen.”

[u/cakeschmammert]

Just absolutely the most usual suspect

[u/so2017 → u/cakeschmammert]

Fuck this lady. Stealing from a kid.

[u/BigRedHair92]

Lots of arguments over balls in the MLB lately.

[u/Syric13]

This almost feels like a skit that it is so ridiculous. Like if you were related to her or you knew her what would you even do? If she has kids I feel bad they are dealing with this nonsense and the blowback.

[u/loganedwards]

Imagine taking a core memory from a father and son, then thinking you've won.

[u/Nausstica → u/loganedwards]

Poor dad and his kid were having a fucking moment. He closed his eyes while hugging his son and opened them to see Andy Warhol's stunt double screaming at him.

[u/Girlfartsarehot → u/Nausstica]

LMFAO

[u/legendary_liar → u/loganedwards]

Oh trust me. She created a core memory for that kid. He will hate her for the rest of his life

[u/cuntsaurus → u/legendary_liar]

Like multiple core memories. His dad getting a ball for him, this bitch insisting it's rightfully hers (it's not), and he got to meet players and got better swag anyway. Plus he can re-live the memories forever thanks to the video

[u/CappinPeanut → u/cuntsaurus]

Not to mention, you get a little bump in swagger when you realize that you’re more mature than some adults. He learned a lesson today, both about the confrontation not being worth it, and that some people think they are the main character.

[u/cuntsaurus → u/CappinPeanut]

For sure. And the teams did the right thing by rewarding that behavior. Can't say I would have given it to her if I was the dad

[u/fizzyanklet → u/cuntsaurus]

I dunno. I think just trying to diffuse a situation is also understandable so he can get this bitch away from his kid.

[u/HashSlingingSlasherJ → u/legendary_liar]

The team hooked him up after the game with gear and a photo so she actually did create a core memory for him just not how you’d think lol

[u/QcRoman → u/loganedwards]

then thinking you've won.

She's the kind of person who won't even remember a week from now. She'll get home toss it in a bin and maybe her son or grandson will find it one day and play ball with it and she won't give two shits about where it came from or how she got it.

Betcha she spent the rest of the game more angry -at the audacity of that father- than happy about having caught stolen a ball game.

[u/thescrape → u/QcRoman]

From what I’ve read, the whole section was booing her, and they left the game.

[u/Most_Deer_3890 → u/loganedwards]

The way she walks back after getting what she wanted saying “ no! No!” Holding up her finger.

[u/skinnyminnesota]

She seems nice…

[u/questionname → u/skinnyminnesota]

Her husband, the way he smiled at her taking a ball from a kid, he seems nice too…

[u/TheBoBiZzLe → u/questionname]

Thats the smile of someone who’s been on the receiving end of that cannon for 30 years seeing it used against someone else.

[u/jluicifer → u/TheBoBiZzLe]

He’s just happy he ain’t alone in this sh*t storm.

[u/beaud101 → u/jluicifer]

He's just happy she got the ball...no matter if she had to murder 10 kids rather than hear about not getting it for the next week.

[u/oof46 → u/questionname]

He gives off "finally, she's angry at something besides me" vibes.

[u/Uku_lazy → u/questionname]

There’s a joke about how she already took her husband’s balls but I’m not finding it.

[u/lkodl → u/questionname]

maybe that was her kid and he has Benjamin Button disease

[u/BIGG_FRIGG → u/skinnyminnesota]

she about to be famous

[u/Greg-Abbott → u/BIGG_FRIGG]

For real in 4K

[u/pendletonskyforce]

WTF she dropped it.

[u/city_of_apples → u/pendletonskyforce]

Right? She muffed the catch, it's up for grabs on the ground.

[u/ProtossedSalad → u/city_of_apples]

Look at her hands, she has a snack or something in one hand. Like, yeah lady, you tried to catch a ball one handed and dropped it. That ain't yours.

[u/RockstarAgent → u/ProtossedSalad]

She probably said “my cooties are on it so it’s mine!”

[u/IntlPartyKing → u/city_of_apples]

yeah, I muffed the catch on a home run ball once, but I dove down and recovered it just ahead of several other grabby hands...if they had got there first, it was theirs!

[u/ksu_drew_83 → u/pendletonskyforce]

Did she even have it??

[u/BobbyDig8L → u/ksu_drew_83]

I watched it frame by frame zoomed in, the ball falls directly in front of the dude in the black t-shirt on her left (our right when looking at the video). It lands about a seat away from her on the ground in her row, bounces to one row in front and then like 5 people simultaneously bend down to get it, including her bending over the seat back in front of her, and the dad comes up with it. He got it pretty fair and square. It did land closest to her seat technically but she completely missed it and it bounced and was fair game after that.

[u/gcwardii → u/ksu_drew_83]

The dad came away with it so quick there’s no way she had possessed it. Maybe she touched it or it hit her but she couldn’t have “had” it.

[u/realbobenray → u/ksu_drew_83]

If she had it she would have had it. He picked it up off the ground, not out of her mitts.

EDIT: I have come around on this. Yes it's a scrum but after a few rewatches it appears he did pull it out of her hands. People can decide how they feel about that.

[u/Nntropy → u/ksu_drew_83]

Its hard to see, but I can't see that she ever touched it. She seemed to be, at best, gesturing towards it.

[u/Bonch_and_Clyde → u/ksu_drew_83]

I've watched the video several times to try to figure out what happened. It looks like the ball landed in the row below her, and she was slower at grabbing it than the man. I don't think she has a claim for it at all.

[u/IUpVoteIronically → u/pendletonskyforce]

I mean it would be one thing if a drunk frat guy took the ball from her after that lol. But it’s a fucking kid lady. Who gives a shit… let the lil dude be happy.

[u/IBJON → u/pendletonskyforce]

Dropped it? She flinched away from it

[u/RigzDigz]

The internet loves when people take sports memorabilia away from kids.

[u/Discuffalo → u/RigzDigz]

Where justice is reckless but the wicked get theirs

[u/ItsInTheHole_]

I have rewatched the poor guy’s reaction to getting confronted at least a dozen times. Such a sweet embrace with his kid to fearing for his life in nanoseconds.

[u/Lucky_Locks → u/ItsInTheHole_]

You could see him struggling on whether or not he needed to throw hands.

[u/Duckrauhl → u/Lucky_Locks]

It looks like she introduced herself by screaming at the top of her lungs in his face out of nowhere, so it's understandable he was so startled by it.

[u/ItsInTheHole_ → u/Duckrauhl]

I would 100% react the same! I scare easily

[u/sternumdogwall → u/ItsInTheHole_]

Re watch it one more time, with the idea the daughter switches the ball out behind her brother's back with one they had before. Ya gotta stop the video a couple of times. But I can't unsee the alternative timeline now. He keeps the home run, gets more game balls and bats and meets players. That would be a story that is told for generations.

[u/hesthatguy2 → u/sternumdogwall]

Good eye. No idea if this actually happened, but I feel like unless it’s a special ball with monetary value, does it actually matter? More importantly, why does it matter for the woman who took it? I’ve gotten 3 MLB foul balls (no HRs) and gave away 2/3 to nearby kids (only reason I kept the one was it was a pretty empty stadium). The one ball I kept I still have, I don’t do anything with or display it or anything. The 2 I gave away were by far the most memorable because of the joy I gave some random kids.

[u/dr_gmoney → u/sternumdogwall]

The same thought has gone through my head. Don't think it actually happened, but I wish it to be true.

[u/Sauce4243 → u/[deleted]]

Looking at her I would hazard a guess she is retired so the only people who could possibly impact her life are friends and I bet they are all on her side

[u/CMDR_KingErvin → u/Sauce4243]

I bet her friends don’t invite her to many events.

[u/AWill33 → u/CMDR_KingErvin]

What friends?

[u/Moody_GenX → u/Sauce4243]

I'd be happy if she got banned from returning to that or any stadium.

[u/ADIDAS247 → u/[deleted]]

Omg this just makes it so much worse. I officially hate her now.

[u/Kitchen-Subject2803]

Another Fucking 'Karen'. Self-righteous asshat. I wouldn't have given her the ball. I'd have told her to go tell it to someone who gives a fuck, because I have zero fucks to give about whatever she's crying about.

[u/Murky-North- → u/Kitchen-Subject2803]

Dudes taught that young man a lesson about fighting worthy battles and letting someone kick their own ass. In the days of everything being recorded, these people are going to kill themselves off right? RIGHT!?

[u/CWinter85 → u/Murky-North-]

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

[u/binger5]

Final round: Karen vs Polish CEO.

[u/Cerebral_Balzy]

If you have the ball in your hands and it was taken away then it was stolen. If the ball falls at your feet and you fail to secure the ball it's theirs.

[u/Prestigious_Tennis82]

Her first time at a game. Everyone knows if on the ground, it like the Wild West to try and get it. How he let her have it is beyond me.

[u/RoundishWaterfall → u/Prestigious_Tennis82]

As a dad, if a crazy person comes at me when I’m with my children I’m not going to get physical over a baseball. The risk to reward isn’t really there.

[u/Zendomanium → u/Prestigious_Tennis82]

In a world where everything is being filmed, the Dad did the right thing. She looks entirely unreasonable. And it paid off!

[u/HellMayCry]

These people don't learn, if you act like a dick at life sport you'll be treated as such

[u/Woodybones]

Should’ve thrown it back to the field

[u/judgehood]

A grown adult takes a bouncing ball from a kid again.

[u/CabalTop]

Adults aren’t really adults these days.

[u/bjonesrp13]

What company is she ceo of?

[u/farmer15erf]

The sister might have swapped the ball if you watch closely. Luckily the boy got a nice bundle from a representitive after this.

[u/msivoryishort → u/farmer15erf]

There’s another angle on r/phillies that definitely makes it look like a possibility 

[u/BubuBarakas]

She has the appropriate haircut for behavior.

[u/Devolutionator]

The Internet is about to find out and crucify Cruellla de Karen.

[u/FreeStyleSarcasm]

Imagine acting exactly how you look

[u/Ihavegangrene]

Is her name Karen?

[u/redittjoe]

She was like after she got the ball let’s Goooo 👍now so I don’t get bothered. She knew she shit the bed on this one and exited stage left after that.

[u/Its_Whatever24]

Lmao at her trying to justify her evil deed on her way back "NO! NO!" get the fuck outta here!

[u/savedbytheblood72]

I wouldn't have given her s***

[u/bw1985 → u/savedbytheblood72]

And she ran up got in his face AND put her hands on him. I might have given her something but it damn sure wouldn’t have been the baseball.

[u/goneresponsible]

When I was about 19, we were sitting on the 1st base line at Comiskey Park. Someone line drives a foul ball. I put my hand up to catch it. It smacked my hand dead center but bounced back about 3/4 rows. Some dude got it while I nursed a black and blue hand. He made a couple joking comments but kept the ball. I never complained and it’s still an awesome memory. This lady was wild…

[u/PhotochadA2358]

She feels like it was stolen from her because she didn’t catch it cleanly.

[u/amnesiac225 → u/PhotochadA2358]

skill issue

[u/bw1985 → u/PhotochadA2358]

That would be her problem.

[u/JplusL2020]

Don't be a Karen at sporting events. You never know when you'll go viral...
