If the guy had caught the ball while standing AT HIS OWN SEAT then I say he could keep it (if he wants to be a selfish jerk), with the pretext that the kid would have plenty of other chances to catch a foul ball. (not that I would have kept it... if a foul ball comes my way, I get out of the way so kids can get it) What truly irks me is that he fell over the row of seats bowling over a small child. And then holds up the ball as if he expects people to congratulate him?!? I'd have swatted him with more than a piece of cardboard!! hmmm... think mom could call one of those ambulance-chasing attorneys and claim 'pain and suffering'?
According to the local news, both the Cardinals and Rangers gave him autographed bats and balls and the Rangers gave free tickets to another game.
