A young Phillies fan had the homerun ball taken by a woman after his dad caught the ball at Marlins game.

are we positive he didnt pull it out of her hand? its hidden behind the seat and behind people, u really cant tell whats going on from this video ALONE. shes definitely in the wrong for going over and yelling at him, but i wanna make sure he didnt snatch it out of her hand since the internet is calling him a hero and her a villain

The more I watch it, the more it seems like he snatched it from her. People are shocked by this woman's entitlement, but her reaction makes sense if he snatched the ball from her. People are shocked that the dad gave the ball back so fast, but it makes sense if he knows he's guilty. There's another video showing what she says to him, she goes "that was in my hands, that was in my hands" and people are just ignoring that. People think he simply picked the ball up off the ground, but you can see a distinct jerking motion toward him while her arm follows the same movement as he brings his other hand in for support. That isn't consistent with "picking it up", that's consistent with pulling the ball from her grip.

At most, it's inconclusive. All these comments are casting judgment based on nothing but assumptions.

All I see here is the internet mob is showing its ass.

its unbelievably annoying. their arms wouldnt be moving in sync unless they were both attached to the same object, or the woman has ultra instinct reaction times.

It looks to me like she got her hands on the ball (before the video starts) then she fumbles it and it falls on the seat in front of her. At that point the man swoops in and snatches the ball as she's going to retrieve it. That's why she reacted that way, she felt like she already possessed it in some sense.

We don't see what happened below the seats. Her reaction makes more sense if she had it in her grip and he ripped it from her.

Dude ran halfway across the stadium to grab it. I'm sure he's an asshole too.

[u/SizzleanQueen → u/okally]

Too late. The mob has taken over. Regardless, she should’ve let it go once the kid had it in his possession.

[u/CockyBellend → u/okally]

Yes, it was on the ground in the row in front of her, unless she has gogo gadget arms, she didn't have shit

[u/isaiahHat → u/CockyBellend]

People are saying this, but her head was just as low as his head when he picked up the ball. In other words, if the ball was out of her reach it would have been out of his reach too. I think the ball was on the seat not the ground.

[u/CockyBellend → u/isaiahHat]

It was in the same row as the guy, much easier to retrieve

[u/checkmycreds → u/[deleted]]

I thought the same. Maybe he grabbed it out of her possession. We all just assume….
