Woman steals foul ball from lttle girl
How could she? Greedy woman steals foul ball from little girl


Some fuzzy, slow-motion footage of fans at a recent Rangers-Cardinals game shows a woman snagging a foul ball directly from the hands of a young girl. How could she? According to Jezebel, the crowd booed the "thief" for five minutes.

5. It would be nice if those baseball teams met with the little girl and gave her an autographed ball.
Thanks for the thread, Liberal_in_LA.

6. I got pushed down by a fat cardinals fan as Bush Stadium
when going after a foul ball 2 years ago. This guy had never moved so fast in his life, I don't like making fun of people with disabilities but this guy was an ass so he deserves anything people say about him.

7. As a baseball fan I could see myself go for the ball & not notice kid
And even though I've never gotten a ball I'd have given it to the kid as long as I got to check it out for a minute.

Silly me. Yeah that was sleazy! Hope she's totally embarassed now this has hit the net.

Bet now though the little girl will get some better baseball goodies! Maybe even get to meet players!

10. The little girl definitely had possession.
She had it clutched to her chest and that horrible person ripped it from her hands.

Should be considered theft and possible assault.

12. "GIMME THAT GODDAMN BALL! I"M STRONGER THAN YOU!"

"Not sure if the other cities had this as it’s about a week old and I wasn’t here for a lot of last week. Either way, excellent work by the adult here. Every day grown-ups are forced to cater to children for absolutely no reason. Kids get to go first. Kids get to play while we work. Kids get foul balls given to them after they didn’t catch them. I’m sick of the unfair playing field and happy to see someone else is with me. Gimme that goddamn ball! I’m stronger than you! I love it, lady.

"Going after a foul ball is like living in the wild west or being in that area after a tollbooth where there’s no lines on the ground yet: complete lawlessness. Anything goes. And, frankly, this chubby little girl just wasn’t woman enough to handle the situation. Important life lesson to be learned here, kid. If you have what someone bigger wants, they can always just take it from you. Been that way since monkey times. I want your ball — mine. I want your wallet — mine. I want your oil — mine. It’s the way of the world.

"And really, what better way than to celebrate your victory than to high five right in that little girls’ face? BAM. Go back to your seat, chump. Survival of the fittest."

And splashes her name across the web.
