Am I the only one who thinks this whole thing is ridiculous? The poor guy was just going after a foul ball, he probably didnt even see the damn kid. Now every idiot in America hates this guy and the kid gets to go on Good Morning America. The guy did look like a little punk pouting while everyone in the stadium chanted "give it back" but I think I hate the spoilled little brat more than I do the guy who knocked him over for the ball.

then you will go to hell with that guy. Now i don't blame him that much for bowling over the kid, but i do blame him for not giving the kid the ball. He is evil.

you have any idea how easily he could have kicked the 5 year old in the back of the head with his foot, or worse knee?? Or maybe catching his head with a leg and dragging him down sandwiching the between between a 200 lb guy and "soft" concrete. The kids very lucky he wasn't hurt. The guy is a jack***! I guess we now know why hes a former youth minister.

BTW didn't you see his actions toward the kids mother?? Him waving his arms enticing the crowd to chant louder??

You're right, he was just trying to catch a foul ball, he jumped over the the row of chairs, at the expense of the childs well-being, and took it from the kids mother. Look at the video again, the ball was the mothers feet, thats when the guy dives over the seats to get it... what an idiot!

Jerks are a dime a dozen, that doesn't mean we have to like it. This guy was being a jerk at the wrong place, at the wrong time. His fault, not mine. He deserves what he got. He may regret it now, but he didn't while he was sitting there laughing about it at the game.

Agree.

I went to a game once and saw the same type of thing happen. This kid snared a foul ball with his glove and was lifting it up to show the crowd. Some grown man grabs the ball from his hand and triumphantly raises the ball above his head. The crowd started to boo and yell at the man. They stayed on him for 2 innings yelling, "BOO...Give the kid his ball...BOO!!!"
Finally, the man gets up, walks down to the kids row and hands him the ball, then pats the youngster on the back. The kid (all smiles) lifts the ball up to show his trophy. The crowd immediately started chanting, "BOO...Give the man his ball.... BOO!!!"

How would you feel if you got knocked down just so someone could get a foul ball Go Wolverines!.

Yes. You and the guy who did it. We are defined by the company we keep.

when he dove for the ball-i believe he didnt know the kid was there.

he was a jerk for not giving the ball back

but he was just diving for a ball and fell. just happened that there was a kid there. not his fault

The least he could do to re-pay the kid is give him the ball.
