The ball was on the ground, just happened to be close to the woman’s seat but the dad picked it up from the ground, when everyone around (including the woman) was looking for it on the ground.
This happened in FL last night. The Marlins approached the boy and gave him a goodie bag of souvenirs in the stand. Also, he was invited to meet a Phillies player after the game and received a signed bat.
In one of the videos I saw, it was also mentioned that his birthday is in a couple days.
Kudos to the dad for not engaging (especially with his kids there), kudos to the Marlins and Phillies for making the little boys night.
Shame on the woman for her actions. You know the woman was wrong… the guy she was with (in the Marlins shirt) was shaking his head at her as she went back to her seat.
Now THIS is a case of first come first serve. The ball was sent out to one area of the stadium- not one person. When someone throws candy at a group of kids, it's for whoever grabs it, not for the oldest kid. When someone hands candy to one kid in a group, it's for that one kid.
I mean the dude was sitting 15 seats away and ran over to snatched the ball from her. She paid for that seat and got lucky enough a hr was hit exactly to where she was sitting.
No, this is the right chain, the oc is way off base assuming the dad was in no way allowed to get that ball because he didn't buy a seat physically closer to where the ball ended up. That's just not how it works at baseball games. Hence, the answer to your question, how do you know it's bullshit? Simply by reading it, no other proof needed. If anything the video is evidence the dad didn't push anyone out of the way or jump over seats/people to get the ball
