Awww, here's a cool story. Young boy shows some real compassion to younger kid at baseball game.
Young Fans Share Nice Moment Over Baseball

Now that’s how you do it, people. We have had several instances recently where some selfish, despicable and heartless person snatches a ball (or a bat, in one instance) that made its way into the stands away from some other person that to see how a young Arizona Diamondbacks fan named Nicholas restored my faith in America’s citizenry, in particular its youth.

Here’s how it played out: as Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks was making his way to the dugout after being out in the field, he tossed a baseball in the direction of a Ian, a young Brewers fan, sitting in the stands at Chase Field. But instead of the ball remaining in the possession of the designated fan (Ian), the ball ultimately ended up in the hands of Nicholas. Nicholas, a young kid in his own right, was obviously thrilled at scoring the treasured souvenir, made his way back up the steps in jubilation. But then he realized that the ball wasn’t meant for him – it was meant for Ian, so Nicholas did the honorable thing and gave it to the dejected and heartbroken Brewers fan Ian. Awesome.
