2. douche

give the kid the ball

[Jesus Malverde]

5. Entitlements...

That boy learned a valuable lesson. Only through hard work will he get ahead in life...

[Jesus Malverde]

6. Im always leery of offending someone here with the "douche" moniker.

It fits to a t here.

[Submariner]

16. That douche should hook up with this classic douche

[Jesus Malverde]

3. Not everyone is a selfish punk.

[daleanime]

11. Nice!

[riversedge]

27. Lovely. Thanks for sharing.

[progressoid]

40. That's the way it's done.

[JaneyVee]

4. That's SO Republican.

[Brigid]

7. I'm surprised this didn't spark a fight.

Fights have begun over far less.

[Jesus Malverde]

8. And big dad would have pounded his ass...

I guess he was looking forward, not backwards..

[lunasun]

19. you can see the dad kept his cool though

[Squinch]

28. And look how well the kid behaved about it. He's more mature than that asshole who

is probably three times his age.

What a sweetie the kid seems like. I hope the player handed him a ball later.

[FailureToCommunicate]

20. Lucky for that jerk the dad kept his cool, modeling sportsman-like behavior

[Jesus Malverde]

21. indeed..nt

[lastlib]

9. yup--stealin' from kids. A GOP staple!

(what a prick......)

[BlueJac]

10. selfish prick

[smallcat88]

12. Can't say I'm surprised

He probably thought the kid was a welfare 'moocher'.

[Thor_MN]

13. Looks like the asshole threw a taunt in there as well.

After catching the ball and recovering from his lunge, he appears to go back towards the kid and say something. Hope the douche finds karma right quick.

[Bobbie Jo]

14. Wow, what a jerk. nt

[ejbr]

15. The player was obviously throwing for the kid to catch...

what an asshole. (sorry for offensive language, but he is what he is...

[treestar]

17. what a jerk

I mean really, could than man be more of jerk?

[lunasun]

18. there was a hockey stick grab from a kid it was intended for too this week

I want to say Hawks game but anyway crowd made him give it back to the intended kid (I think) -anyone see it?

the puke in your OP = you ave to ask

[BootinUp]

22. asshole

[hfojvt]

23. there is kind of a problem with that

there's only ONE baseball. Why should only one kid get it over everybody else?

A free ML baseball means something to a kid. Well, it means something to that adult as well, and probably to many other adults.

The player meant to give it to the kid. But why toss a ball only to kids? Why not toss an occasional ball to a random adult?

I just think a scarcity situation is tougher.

But at this stage of history, my question is, why do we need to be in a scarcity situation?

The standard answer would sort of be - because that's the way people are.

And that certainly seems true, but it also seems true that - that's the way people are encouraged to be.

[Squinch]

30. .

[boston bean]

41. what you don't get the scarcity pro baseball intellectual argument

where adults get to act like assholes.

[Squinch]

43. Didn't Kafka address the assholery of stealing baseball from cute little kids? And the

essential unfairness that cute little kids are cute little kids and grown men are not?

[11 Bravo]

33. You just gave me a headache.

[SunSeeker]

24. Not just an asshole but a THIEF.

He STOLE that ball from the kid. The player was clearly giving it to the kid, throwing it gently into the boy's outstretched catcher's mitt. That asshole invaded that kid's space and TOOK the ball that was about to fall into the boy's mitt. It's like someone reaching into my car and taking a Christmas present from my passenger seat that I was about to give to my niece. That douchebag is a THIEF.

Much like the GOP oligarchs who steal the value of our labor and give it to themselves.

[The Wielding Truth]

29. You are so right that ball was thrown directly to that little boy and that guy cherry picked it.

[steve2470]

25. ball-snatching dude was quite the selfish ahole nt

[abelenkpe]

26. Yep

[GP6971]

31. Saw the same thing happen

at Safeco Field when the Yankees were in town one year. During batting practice, we were on the third base line when BP ended. Scott Brosius was the 3rd baseman for the yanks and from a couple of feet away tossed a ball to a kid about 5 and some adult knocked it out of the kid's glove and stole the ball. Brosius just stood there stunned then got another ball and walked up to the kid and handed it to him.....he did have a couple of "polite" words for the adult. It was class act on Bosius' part.

32. A Grand Old Peacock

And a POS...

[lpbk2713]

34. I hope someone recognizes that scumbag.

... and posts his name all over the internet.

[4_TN_TITANS]

35. Look at the kid's glove, he wouldn't have caught it

It looks like the ball would have bounced back off of the glove or maybe even hit the kid. I hope the guy returned the ball.

[yuiyoshida]

36. What a jerk...

I bet he was damn proud of himself for stealing that ball from a kid. What an Ass.

[KentuckyWoman]

37. HAHAHA

Best part of this vid is the jackass flaunts it to the kid after he snags it.

Keep his cool dad has been seen in action by loved ones, friends, neighbors, coworkers, bosses. Will be more likely to be trusted when someone is in a pickle. Employers pay for that skill.

The selfish dweeb has been seen in action by loved ones, friends,neighbors, coworkers, bosses. Betcha he's already regretting his actions.

Dude in the blue hat behind um who tried and failed to snag the ball has also been seen in action by loved ones, friends, neighbors, coworkers, bosses. Even though he failed, they now all know what he's made of too.

Eventually the dumshits give themselves away.

[B Calm]

38. The boy's dad shaking his head and rolling his eyes. .

[elias49]

39. Wait. Which one is the child? nt

[lillypaddle]

42. What an asshole!
