Wonder if they're her kids?

If so, I feel sorry for them.

He got booed for catching a foul ball, but to his credit, he was already looking for a kid to give it to.

10. Sounds Like Everyone Should Lay Off That Cubs Fan Who "Stole" A Baseball From A Kid

Sunday outrage gives way to Monday fact-checking. If you were one of the people who (reasonably) got very angry at a short video clip appearing to show an adult Cubs fan intercepting a ball meant for a child, you can stand down. The man, it now appears, is a good guy who does not deserve this at all, and indeed gave away every ball he got—including, earlier, one to that very same child.

The clip came from Sunday afternoon’s win over the Cardinals, and it was long enough to infuriate, short enough to strip context. It showed the first-base coach tossing a ball toward a young fan, said ball rolling beneath the seats and getting snagged by a grown-up one row behind. The man appeared to celebrate over his trophy, and handed to his wife, all while the child looked on.

Chuck Mycoff, the man in blue sitting just next to the expert ball snagger:

He had already helped that kid get a ball. He gave two more away to kids also. He was a great guy. TV got this all wrong.



I was sitting next to this guy. That ball was between my feet. The kid already had a ball the same guy helped him get. He handed it to his wife. She took a picture of it and they gave it to the kid next to them. This guy was great. This story is BAD.
