Grown men complain about why they don't want to give foul balls to children

Wtf are you gonna do with a foul ball. Take a pic and give it the kid in your row.

How lame does your life have to be that catching a foul ball is a highlight.

Sorry son but this here ball is the property of Major League Baseball. The only place it's going is straight back to the umpire's room :marseyhankhill:

Agreed. Catch a superstar's 500th homer? Keep it. Catch some random foul ball? Give it to a kid. I mean, what else are you gonna do with it? Stick it on a shelf and say, "Yeah, I caught a foul ball hit by some Triple-A call-up whose name I can't even remember."? :marseybeanquestion:

There's a bunch of comments in there saying they want to take the ball home to give it to their kid, but if that's the case, how 'bout bringing your child to the game with you, deadbeat? Of course, 90% of those comments are probably unmarried, "childfree" losers that just want an excuse for their selfishness. :marseydisney:

Heh... Stupid kids... If you catch it then you deserve to keep it... The only fricking way a fricking kid should get a fricking ball from someone who rightfully caught it is fricking when its beamed at their head for being a fricking stupid kid... Heh...
