Kid 1 – Asshat fan 0

In Texas yesterday, an asshat adult shoved a 4 year kid to the ground in his zeal to get a foul ball hit by Gary Matthews.

Seeing what happened on TV in the clubhouse, St Louis Cardinal Reggie Sanders personally delivered an autographed bat to the kid. He also ended up with a bat autographed by Ranger Kevin Mench, and the Rangers front office gave him a ball signed by Nolan Ryan.

Sweet!

However, the coolest part of the story, which is being mostly glossed over in the media reports, is that before any of the pros got involved, two kids had already given their foul ball souveniers to the 4 year old.

Maybe there is hope for the current generation after all.

    The worst part of it all was the fact that when he refused to give the ball up, he encouraged the crowd to boo him while the kid was there crying. What an ass.
