NO, NO , NO
All athletes are assholes who don't care about anyone but themselves.....I guess Pujols, Hill and McClelland (for suggesting Pujols give the kid a ball) didn't get that memo. You probably won't see this on ESPN. |

Sorry if this makes me sound like an asshole.
But I have little sympathy for fans who reach over to get a baseball. I've seen too many plays where asshole fans interfere with a ball in play and turn their own team's triple into a ground rule double. |

It doesn't appear that this ball was anywhere close to being fair. Kinda hard to tell from the video, but judging solely on the players reaction it wasn't. If it had been, I would be in total agreement with you.

That sucks for that dude, hopefully he is ok, but he learned that gravity always wins.

The ball was hit foul off the visitors dugout fence it continued to roll down the outside wall past the cameras and the guy leaned over to get a ball for his downs syndrome kid on his birthday. The kid is a big Pujols fan. Obviously the kid may not clearly understand whats happening and his idol talking calmly to him telling him that Dad is going to be okay, getting him a ball. There are just not enough stories like this involving our athletes.

off topic a bit, when is mlb going to put up plexiglass or something atleast until the end of the dugouts. I never get that good of seats but I always take my glove just incase i have to save people from a screaming line drive. Also Someones throat is going to get cut Yager style if bats continue to go into the stands .

I didn't know about the back story about the kid having Downs syndrome. What are the freaking odds that a fan like this has a kid with Downs syndrome let alone a kid with Downs syndrome on a birthday. 99.99% of the time, these incidents are the case of an annoying fan interrupting a game. |

I have an unadulterated hatred for the Cardinals.
Having said that - it's very hard not to pull for a guy like Puhols. The dude seems like a genuinely nice and sincere individual. He deserves whatever success comes his way. I can't say that I fully understand most fans obsession with getting a foul ball (to the point of many times interfering with a game), but I FULLY understand what this man was trying to do for his son..... |
