I commend this woman for doing the right thing and teaching that little girl an important life lesson about the ways of the world. I do think we should watch out though, 'cause this trauma is likely going to lead to her growing up to build an interstellar armada that will black out the sky and destroy every baseball, every woman, and every pair of white jeans on our little blue sphere.

It's always funny seeing adults go nuts at ball parks just to get a baseball

I hope the stadium people tossed that up on the jumbo-tron for everyone to see.

If it were an adult instead of kid, would she still be in the wrong? I am not too sure on the proper etiquette here... and neither was the lady in the video.

Also, check out the reaction of the black lady sitting in the aisle seat, in the second row. Ha.

Sucks for that kid. It's a hard knock life.

The proper etiquette is that you don't take things from other people. In this specific instance, you don't take the ball that was thrown to another person.

You're also an effing adult. It's a freakin' baseball.

Yeah, I didn't watch closely enough the first time. Now I see that a player was clearly tossing the ball to the girl. If it were a foul ball hit into the stands, then it might have been a borderline acceptable thing to do.

She just wants to show everyone that she is "fun"!
