idiots on the internet
Michael B-
If you don't find the guy's behavior tacky, I can't help you. He scurried like a rat to a location he clearly didn't inhabit. His behavior was like that of a child. There's no "law" against it, you know there is no "zone of control"- it was just in poor taste (and obviously so), like cutting in a line. The woman's behavior was also gross. It's wonderful microcosm of the horrible and ridiculous behavior I see more and more among adults. Trent King

He wanted to get a ball for his kid - he walked down a half a row of empty seats tracking it and when it hit the ground he quickly grabbed it - at least it was on his row - The mean lady wasn’t even in that row she was up behind it .
I think it would be a lot harder for him Not to go after an easy home run ball Last edited by Beercan collector; 09-09-2025 at 08:11 AM.

Idiots on the internet
Eric (Beercan)- I watched the video once. Unless that video was sped up for effect, he was past walking. And the lady was no angel either- that’s the problem. The internet folks are inevitable, neither adult was proper. Just gross all around. Glad the child made out in the end. Trent King

I've seen countless scrambles for baseballs that left the field of play. In my opinion, this father's movement towards the ball was quite civilized. He didn't appear reckless or violent in any way.
It was on the ground. He saw it. He picked it up. That should have been the end of it. Had the other fan not reacted the way she did, I don't think anyone else would have thought anything negative about the dad's behavior. On the contrary, without the other fan's reaction, it was shaping up to be a brief little feel-good moment.

Side note:
Another bad thing about all of this is the fact it was a Phillies fan. Even 1,000 miles away from Citizens Bank Park, it seems like the old "700 Level at The Vet" behavior and image will persist. As someone who has been going to Phillies games for nearly 50 years, I dislike seeing anything that reinforces that stigma. Philadelphia fans have been booing Santa Claus, punching police horses, and throwing batteries for as long as I can remember. Approximately 1 in every million Philadelphia fans...but those are the ones people remember. Now we have another fan's behavior to deal with, and this one traveled quite some distance to bring shame to Phillies fans.
