So this is 89ths way of saying he’s acted the same way.

Is this kind of thing your idea of sporting hooliganism?
You can’t tell me you’ve even managed to fuck this up. I was going to post an LOL emoji but I’m too sad.

I think yall are pulling my leg. If a home run ball lands in your row a few seats away, of course you’d scurry to get it (unless a kid was going after it). 100 times out of 100. Have you been to a ballgame before?

Two this month. And no, I would not do anything of the kind.

Seriously, @89th 89th? It’s about basic human politeness and also a little self dignity. The whole idea that he can get to that ball quicker than she can so he deserves it is pretty much the philosophy of the asshole of the guy that grabbed the stuff away from the kid that started the thread. You can argue that it was about giving to kids, but maybe she was going to give it to a kid that wasn’t there? And even then, it’s a nice thing to do, but it’s not a moral imperative to do so. It doesn’t matter that he gave it to his kid or that it was the kids birthday. It was because his instinct said I’m big enough, fast enough, that I can get that ball before her and he chose to follow that instinct. That’s behavior that a polite society is supposed to frown upon.

It's just a game.
You guys take ball grabbing way too seriously.
But the etiquette advice is sound: don't grab someone else's ball, especially don't grab a kid's ball.@Axtremus said in Asshole of the month award goes to…:

Not at all. A ball lands in the stands, it’s not “oh you go first” it’s fun to see who can get to it first. It landed in his row… in fact I think it’s a bigger sin to go into someone else’s row to get a ball, if there is any sin here at all!
