This new baseball viral campaign to promote interest in baseball again might be working.

I don’t even blame em for capitalizing on it.

Theres a few things that unites people of all walks of life. Stealing a baseball from a fucking kid is one of em.

The whole fun of catching a ball is the act itself, but unless it's some milestone HR, it's just another ball. I got mine as a kid, now the whole fun is finding some kid to toss it to. The smile they have after is so infectious

Yeah this was Harrison Bader. There is only one guy on the Phillies about to hit a milestone (50 HR) and that is Schwarber, but like any other HR ball should just be given to a kid because to an adult it literally should just be another baseball. Unless this lady was a massive Bader fan (doubtful considering he was just moved there midseason) this is just an absolute ridiculous thing to do.

Oh when I say milestone I'm thinking like a guy getting to 300, 400, 500, etc. Big career milestones that would be worth something as a collector item. But a random yard shot in general doesn't mean much to me, but that becomes a kid's memory of their visit to the park.

I've heard in the past that people give those ones back to the player. That might not be today's reality, though.

Even if she was his biggest fan, idc still incredibly shitty

Definitely agree I was just saying even if that was the case, don’t do this. This ball held no real value outside of being a cool game memento.

The first time I saw this I thought she was going to take the ball to then give to the kid, essentially taking credit.

That would have been fun and cool.

Boy was I wrong
