The one clip where the two guys are fighting over the ball and the guy that eventually gets it gives it to his rival and hugs him really was super nice. Not sure the time in the vid but very touching, and how we should strive to be!
Whenever I catch a foul ball or puck I always look for the nearest kid sitting near me, I remember how awesome of a feeling that was..something the child will remember much longer then any of these adults
@@AlexMoreno-zj7po Perhaps. Most kids would, I think. I certainly would have appreciated it as a kid. Meanwhile, now? I care nothing about catching a wayward ball, so might as well give it to someone who might.
I was given a foul ball as a kid at the skydome in toronto a long time ago by a random fan who came up to me and said hey heres a ball and I remember being confused more than anything lol. I'd rather catch a ball from the players themselves. I ended up losing the mlb ball a week later using it in baseball practice lol
“Whenever I catch a foul ball or puck I always look for the nearest kid sitting near me…” … and show them my 105 mile an hour fast ball. Poor f’ing kids never know what hit ‘em.
That dude ticked me off. The way the husband tried to get it back made it seem like they definitely didn't know each other. There's nothing worse than toxic drunk sports nuts sitting close to you during a game.
Any little kids in my vicinity get the souvenirs. If I want a game ball or bat, I can just buy one with my own money... like an adult. It's not worth your dignity folks.
Look I’m not gonna push a kid out of the way to get a ball, but if I get a ball straight up, IDGAF, I’m keeping it. The only exception would be if it’s a toss up from a player. Foul ball or HR though? Nah. F them kids.
Speak for yourself. Some of us never had a chance as little kids to catch one & it's a lifelong dream. I'm not letting you take that dream from me I'm fighting over that ball to the death!
If you're fighting for a bat, don't pull it away. Spear the other guy with it. He won't be expecting it and will probably let it go while he winces in pain.
What I usually do is I grab the other guys balls and I squeeze and twist as hard as I can and then suddenly pull down with all my body weight and that usually forces them to let go of *my* souvenir. #NoHomo
When 2 people catch a bat at the same time and are fighting over it you gotta play Rock, Paper, Scissors for it, or if u dont like that just have a knife fight in the parking lot for it.
took the words right out of my mouth. I was in South Padre Island at Spring Break and I caught a shirt at the same time as another guy. Instead of fighting for the shirt we just instantly agreed to Rock/Paper/Scissor as a fair way to settle the tie.
@@WorkOvertimeOrElse We saw how people acted when there was a shortage of toilet paper, and it's not like we can't survive without toilet paper. If it's a desperate enough situation, you can use a wash cloth and wash it. 😂 Imagine how people would be in real survival scenarios...
Back in the 70's living in Milwaukee, I used to go to Brewer games at County Stadium all the time. I would show up for batting practice and sit in the outfield bleachers. I either caught or retrieved so many baseballs that I WAY lost count. One day I caught three of them, but I couldn't fit all three into my pants pockets LOL!! So if I were to catch a ball today, I would have NO problem giving it to someone else, maybe a kid or an elderly person. I've certainly had more than my fair share!!
My daughters and I were wondering where my wife was at a mariners home game during BP we couldn’t find her. Ichiro hits one deep dead center field and through a crowd of people out comes this big coach purse, the ball lands in it and there she walks out of the crowd. It was like this is how everyone does it, tromping up the steps to go get a burger.
Many years ago I think I was around 12 or so my father scored us a couple tickets to a Reds game. We were sitting on the 3rd base line when Brett Butler for The Atlanta Braves hits a foul ball near our seats , my father grabs the glove I had brought runs down the isle dives and catches the ball,. When he lands on the contest below the ball was jarred loose an undying ruckus formed between a man and my father to which the other man called my father a " cockroach before taking the ball. This was all shown on the jumbo Tron at the stadium and Brett Butler who fouled the ball off saw it as well, after the inning was over and upon Mr. Butler returning to the field he came over and threw another ball to my father, class act.
Honestly the first dude saved her from having to buy a new phone, she wasn't going to make the over the shoulder bare handed grab with a cellphone in her hands anyway, but she was going to crack her screen.
I think it's insane how people literally drag each other for a ball or something. It's pretty sad. These are probably the same people who scream their heads off at their kids sports games.
Daniel Lopez basically it was a fair ball (in play) that people thought was foul (out of play, fair game for fans). So technically the dude interferes with the game, which is something they can kick you out for. But the guy gives the ball to a kid and the same kid and his mom rats him out! (Cause security was looking for the guy who interfered). Basically, imagine that I stole, idk, a slice of pizza and gave it to you, then as your eating, you go up to the manager and say that I stole a slice of pizza. Bad analogy ik but hopefully you get the idea.
The Code ⚾️:: first touch on a homer is one thing but possession is Everything. It happened to me and another Fan chasing down a college baseball homer,- on the Fly- outside the fence ,from left field to right center, at a local park. Some Kid picked it up as we ran up on it. The kid thought it was Our Ball. We looked at each other in awe and agreed the kid gets it⚾️ , we all held it for a moment & let the kid in on the Code and he smiled as he walked away with the Ball, back to his family picnic, - nearby- who were watching all of us. A True sportsmanship moment.
True story: back in the day I am at Fulton County Stadium, John Smoltz is on the mound. Batter foul tips one back over the net and a fan holding a full beer in one hand catches the foul ball underhanded with the other hand down around his waist. Never spills a drop of beer! Same batter, same at-bat, foul tips another one back over the net and the same guy, this time holding the full beer in the other hand catches the foul ball underhanded down around his hips. Never spilt a drop of beer. True story.
@@mikeolithory898This actually did happen. I watched it on TBS back in the mid 90s (94, I believe). Skip Caray and Pete van Weiren made a big deal about it in the announcers booth.
I've been watching videos of kind gestures like animals saving other animals from being eaten.. Then I come to this video. This is where the real animals are.
When I was a little kid a grandma yanked a ball out of my hands, and said she gave them to kids... Like the one she took it from? I've never gotten another ball hit to me. But she was like 80 then so she's 100% gone from this earth.
The guy at the 1:19 mark is a gentleman for graciously giving away the ball at the end. If I catch a ball, I always give it to the nearest kid. The only ball I care about is the one signed for me by Paul Konerko #14. Go White Sox!
Never heard of you playing in MLB, Steve. 🤣 Paul Konerko is a legendary first baseman for the Chicago White Sox (he played 19 years) and won a World Series championship in 2005. Here, watch his grand slam in Game #2 of the World Series vs Houston... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AFsmDKUswas.html @@user-ez9zq3ny8m
@@judsonkr "watching"? "Fighting" was mentioned, and it is that confrontation and physical assertion element that is more respectable, than the passive in-home participation of the actively childless man.
@@niceguy1774 I quote you directly: "It's much more respectable than a "grown adult" busy playing video games, watching comic book movies, and not having children..."
Was at a Mariner's game once and this guy was bring a TON of food back from the concessions. He had so much he was carrying it all in a box lid. It was still warm ups so not too many people in the stands (and the Mariners have sucked ass since the late 90s), anyways this ball comes flying in and hits the guys food and it goes FLYING. Several large popcorn bags about 15-20 feet in the air, hotdogs, drinks, beers. It was hilarious and I'll never forget it. Easily over $120 in food just wasted lol
I was at a cubs game in the 90s dunston was on the team I think early or mid 90s. This was right when fans started to enter the ballpark. Found our left field bleacher seats. Not even 5 minutes later ( my sister and mom went to watch the players do batting practice. I’m with my dad. ) ( relief pitchers were tossing a ball but eventually gathered to watch) We are the only ones around in the bleachers. Here comes a man and a wife… sure… fine…. A drunk guy suddenly yelled : get off my fiancé. It was loud. The pitchers were now watching. The woman yells to the guy: not now, go home. The husband now looks at his wife and says: wait, you know him? Fiancé? The wife stands there realizing what is happening, decides to say: if I cheated on you ever, I hope something hits me. Mike piazza was doing batting practice. He hit a homer. Yup, it hit her…. The drunk guy left , the wife/fiancé looked at both. Watching 1 leave and looking at her husband. She followed the drunk guy, husband said he’s divorcing her… He sat in a seat just gazing into the sky… The husband was visibly upset, angry, hurt… the relief pitchers watching left the field, they came into the bleachers and sat with him. comforted him, took him to the dugout to meet other players on the team. And even cubs players I guess found out eventually because when he came back, he had a jersey from both teams signed by the players and the coaches, managers, even the umpires autographed both jerseys. A bad situation became a great gesture. I will never forget how in that instance, both teams had that man feel like he mattered.
Welcome to Dodger Stadium, where fans are routinely exposed to violence. Those fans act like they've never been to a ballgame, and I've witnessed more civility at the zoo.
Yea fans Get there late, leave early if it all. too bad they didn’t stay in Brooklyn. I can’t understand why there’s 5 teams in California. They got good weather and beaches and babes. We lucky to have a good ball team in NY
@@flyoverkid55 Yea the Dodgers were the first team to move out west. My Cardinals used to be the furthest team west until Brooklyn Dodgers and NY Giants moved after the ‘57 season
@@posysdogovych2065 it depends, sometimes the player will ask for the bat back, and sometimes they'll just let the fan keep it, but even when they ask for it back they usually trade it out with a practice bat.
I know. Crazy if you look all the fans around them were motioning to throw it back. I guess because the opposing team knocked it out.? Idk. I not keen on inside baseball rules. I would not have stood for that though. Even if by some miracle I’d have been nice enough to let him slide in the action, I wouldn’t have been able to control myself when he said he’d do it again. Certain things transcend sports, the disrespect/audacity you gotta have to snatch something from another fan who clearly has possession of said object, let alone another mans wife. Smh.
Damn I remember as a yout in 70s getting 6 foul balls down right foul line during batting practice at dodger stadium from Willey Macovey. Every ball made it to the street for some ball the next week. Us stupid kids eh
0:23 Can we make a rule that if you are so inept at catching foul balls that it doesn't matter how much money you have, you should not be in those seats. I thought we lived in a merit-based society. This dude has *zero* merit.
@TCT Next time I say someone wins in sports with three balls bouncing off his hands will be the first. Just admit it, that's you, isn't it! Come on! Go ahead, everyone wants to know! Did you get the second date?
@TCT Do you know what a joke is? Reread the original statement and tell me where I was being so serious that you felt the need to now respond to me three different times. I don't really know who exactly you are trying to impress at the moment, but it's ok, I don't care you can't take a joke. Now run along and go bother someone else.
It’s great watching the conspicuously rich, particularly the guy beginning around 0:27 in the high dollar seats, soiling their shorts over capturing a five dollar ball.
Lol the lady at the beginning was about to try and catch a home run with her iphone, screen up, as a mitt. What an airhead. The guy that caught the ball did her a favor by not letting her smash her screen.
My first instinct is to look for a kid and give it to them. I was at a hockey game and puck dropped from the protection screen and landed at my feet. I picked it up a gave it to the first kid I saw. I hope it made his day.
Not to mention she was trying to make the catch with a cell phone in her hand, if she caught it she would have needed a new phone, but I highly doubt she was going to make an over the shoulder, bare handed catch, with a cellphone in her hand anyway, chances are she would have broke her screen and the ball would have bounced god knows where and someone else would have picked it up anyway. He saved her a ton of money if she has a decent phone.
I was once at a Phillies/ Blue Jays exhibition game in Clearwater, FL. I snagged 3 foul balls on richochets from the aluminium bench seats. I gave them to kids. What does a ball mean to an adult? To a kid they are like gold.
