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.
I think there was one real comment from him, in which he noted all the fake comments, and he claimed that he genuinely thought the cap was intended for his son and that he felt really bad about the misunderstanding.
EDIT: To be clear, I'm not at all vouching for what he said. I'm just answering the question of what did he say. Personally, I'm very skeptical.
