I've run into plenty of 18 year olds I would not want to get into a fist fight with because I would most assuredly lose.
Not sure if the guy doing the strong-arming for the lottery ticket randomly thrown into the crowd was supposed to check birth certificates before diving under bleacher seats for a ball.
I to have seen adults act like an ass at Minor League games chasing a worthless ball, although most will just turn around and hand it to the nearest kid anyways.
You can bet though, if that ball had a bank account number on it, which unlocked a key to a 7 figure payday, those adults wouldn't be so quick to hand the ball over to the nearest doe eyed kid they could find.
Maybe I was the only one thinking this throughout the course of this thread...or I'm the only one to admit it.  |
Right but not really the point. The issue is whether the kid had possession or not. If he did, their ages, physiques, personality traits, etc. are irrelevant to his claim of ownership. That said, given the nature of a scrum for a loose ball, I'm not sure a split second grab is enough.
