If Ashburn had that kind of bat control, I suspect he�d have won a lot more batting titles.

Richie kept in touch with that woman throughout the years. He felt horrible about what had happened.

It was always one of his favorite stories to tell during games.

Two things are wrong with this Phillies homer.

1) The woman who accosted the man for a ball he fairly got. Home runs are fair game, this woman had no right to the ball because it was hit near her. The man did NOTHING wrong. He ran over and snagged it off the concrete. The woman didn't have it in her hands...Not even sure how she thought she was going to grab it with a phone in her hand.

2) The internet trying to track this woman down and ruin her life. It's just a Harrison Bader home run. It's not like this was a milestone million dollar baseball.

1) Couldn't you apply "It's not like this was a milestone million-dollar baseball" to the man's behavior, as well? I am NOT defending the woman's outburst, I'm saying the logic goes both ways.

2) More than one commenter has mentioned the word "right" in a post on
this topic. I'm certain I haven't stated anyone has a "right" to possess a
foul ball. It's more accurate to say it's a matter of propriety. I wouldn't make
a beeline to another section of seats, casually pop in front of the folks who
were MUCH closer to the ball, snag it, then go back and make sure I didn't
look their way afterward. Would you? The guy was sneaky, period.

3) I'm not an apologist for the woman. When I watch the video I just think
it's pretty gross all the way around. The internet behavior is deplorable.
Our species doesn't come off looking good at all

Ever been to a major league baseball game? Home run balls have been a free for all since time began. The guy you are saying was in the wrong did absolutely nothing wrong at all.

Um, yeah... been to my share of games. Great question! The guy's behavior
was pretty crass, you wouldn't have liked it if you were on the receiving end.
As I originally pointed out, it was yet another little episode of adults behaving
poorly all around. The child displayed the best behavior during the event.

I've been to many baseball games in the bleachers close to home runs, I'm not one to chase them, but I don't care at all if someone does as long as they don't climb over someone. This guy didn't touch anyone, he ran and grabbed the ball before anyone else. Thanks for telling me how I would feel though.
