Stay classy, D-Backs fan.

not condoning the actions of that guy or any of the other crazies, but in reference to the people who chanted "give it to a kid" over and over again... sorry, but if i caught a ball that actually came to me youd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

last night at the braves game josh hamilton's homer came near us and the guy who snagged it was guilted in to throwing it back (which, because schafer likes to pay attention to what goes on in the stands, was way more entertaining than usual) and i couldn't help but think i wouldn't have afforded the masses the same courtesy.

just saying.

Totally agree. Its great to give a kid a ball, but you shouldnt be obligated to do so. Throwing a ball back? Unless its a nobody that hit it, Im keeping it.

There were a couple of guys who clearly didn't want to give it up but after two or three minutes, they did.
I may be in the vast minority but I couldn't care less about a ball. I've caught two in my life, one foul and one HR, and I gave both away immediately. I certainly don't think I'm a saint for doing so. It was fun catching them but what do I want with a ball, you know? Some kid is going to put it on his shelf and stare at it.

you raise a good point... if i had caught one before i probably wouldnt feel the same way. give me one and i'll probably get a lot more generous.

He looked like one of those completely awkward guys with no social skills at all.

This. And I didn't think that the previous autism comments were completely out there, baseless, or said in a mean spirited way.

So who needs the foul ball more, the milf in the front row or this kid in the jersey? End dumb thread.
