Baseball Bully
Just saw a clip on the news about a jack **S who practicaly trampled a 4 year old boy to get a fowl ball that went into the stands. This guy needed to have his macho attitude checked with a bat. He litteraly dove over the seats and landed inbetween the boy and his mother and to get the ball. The crowd was chanting for him to give the ball back and the guy calling the game even went down and talked to him. The guy was a complete *%#$@ &^""#$*& not a redeming thing could be said of his attitude or actions. He was the kind of person it would be fun to humiliate completely in public. What an... nevermind.
My heart is litteraly pounding in my chest Im so angry.
Both teams took care of the boy and he got several different balls and a couple bats, even was interviewed on TV. hope the idiot guy is recognized wherever he goes.
Robert

That talks about it..and this guy was a former youth minister?? Hmm.. I can't judge since I wasn't there and I can't seem to locate the clip, but I think he owes the family a huge apology (if he hasn't already) for knocking that kid in to the seats. Just my 2 cents.

I think the incedent is way overatted. Sure he over reacted, but he bairly brushed the kid. The little boy didn't even seem to notice. I think the guy should have given the kid the ball and that would have been end of story, instead he decided to act like a complete jack-ass afterward.
Foolish and uncalled, but not worthy of nation-wide press.

that is what the article said "Almost knocking the kid" At first before I read the article, I am thinking that this kid was actually knocked in to the seats and was injured or something.

Yup , I think the guy was a slime ball for the way the whole thing went down 
The clip i saw on TV ,showed members of one of the teams coming up into the stands where the lil boy was, and giving him balls, bats ,t-shirts etc. 
All i know is: everyone from TRT if it happened to them,woulda gave the lil dude the ball

He should have used common sense and given the ball to the kid, and the story would have ended at that.
