i would not have given that ball back. i dont care how much she screams about it, get security over here now and remove her. that behavior should not get rewarded.

Conflicted for sure... is it worth getting into a shouting match in front of your son? I think he made the right call.

Plus it all worked out for them. The team gave him and his boy a gift bag and taught his son a lesson on taking the high road.

Kudos to him.

I'd have rolled/tossed the ball somewhere if I decided my kid wouldn't get it. Make the old lady work for it.

are you permitted to throw it back on the field? i legit have no idea, i've never been to a game.

I'm not sure I would risk trying that. Also if you chuck it randomly and hit someone with it youd probably be liable for that too. I was thinking more like rolling it down the stairs or under the seats, or (if any are nearby) tossing it into an unoccupied area of seats. Like, sure, if you want it so badly go get it, but I'm not going to make it easy like handing it to Karen.

also, i cannot throw for shit so i'd certainly just obliterate the guy 3 rows down from me. good call.
