What sort of mean-spirited loser steals a baseball from a child’s grasp?

Well, this bloke here does, for a start.At last night’s MLB match between the Miami Marlins and the Milwaukee Brewers, a foul ball found its way towards the crowd, where a couple of kids were eagerly waiting to try and catch it, claiming a memorable souvenir of the game.
Until cheeky chops up there blocks in front of them to claim the ball for himself. Then gleefully jig away up the stairs, leaving a decidedly cheesed off-looking wee lass behind.
Thankfully there’s a bit of a happy ending, since the Brewers – noting her disappointment at being gazumped by a grown adult who should know better – threw another ball up to her to make sure she didn’t leave empty handed.
A nice gesture from the team, which ran out 8-5 winners in Miami. And certainly more heartwarming than yer man pictured – and caught on video by the MLB behaving in such a heelish manner. Hope you’re suitably ashamed of yourself, son.
He caught it fair and square. He is not obliged in any way to give it to the girl. Some might even look at him suspiciously because he’s a stranger.
If I were him, I’d be suing for slander.
