Foul Ball Foul-Up: Man Nearly Knocks Down Boy, Keeps Ball

Reggie Sanders Awards Boy Bat



FORT WORTH, Texas -- Gary Matthews Jr., lifted a foul ball into the stands at Ameriquest Field in Arlington in the third inning of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, but it turned out to be no routine foul ball.

A man went tumbling to get the baseball and nearly knocked over a 4-year-old boy named Nicholas. The boy's mother was not happy about it and neither was Texas Rangers broadcaster Tom Grieve.


"Yeah, you got the ball, buddy. Nice going, you took it away from a little kid. Hold it up, you should be real proud of yourself," Grieve said during the televised broadcast. "Go to a sporting goods store and buy a dozen baseballs if you want them that bad."

"You know, there is a jerk in every park, and there is the biggest jerk in this park," Grieve said while the camera was focused on the man.

Little Nicholas proved to come out the winner in the end, as other kids gave him baseballs. Even better, the Cardinals' Reggie Sanders, who was watching the game in the clubhouse, came out and gave the boy a baseball and a bat.

Other fans were chanting for the man to "give [the boy] the ball"... The man kept the ball all to himself and reportedly left the game after the fourth inning.

Some people need to be killed by mobs. This was one of these cases. Anyone got pitchforks for them?

First of all, who cares if you're first skunkpunk? Have an "I sit at the pc all day hitting F5" medal. GG there you go.

And secondly I think what that guy did was just disgusting. He didn't even give it to the kid in the end :c

*gets a torch*
*Finds a few pitchforks*
*Starts out the door*
*Walks a bit, hits himself, goes back and gets a few more torches and a lighter*
*Starts knocking on doors in the guy's city, distributing pitchforks and occasionally torches, inviting people to join the angry mob*
