devilzibook Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Hey! I know it isn't related to hockey/NHL/Devils but I thought I should share it with you. Watch the video: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=17123187&topic_id=&c_id=mlb&tcid=vpp_copy_17123187&v=3 Not alot of people would have done that... Especially a 12 years old kid. Would love to see that from a hockey fan. And now take a look at him... miserable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISz8wJHwoe0 Edited July 22, 2011 by Devilzibook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Thats nice to see. I was at an Arch Enemy gig once and they threw out a fully signed drum skin. I caught it with both hands, but another guy got a hand to it, but we instantly got mobbed so 3 of my freinds were up against this guy and about 7 othere people. Needless to say it ended up as just a twisted rim of metal with barely visible scribbles on it, so i just let it go.

ZeroGravityFat Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 seems it's a far better idea to give stuff you get away to people these days, baseball loves karma stories. good for the kid though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that on yahoo, very awesome to see a 12 year old set a much better example than some of the adults out there, like that miserable, selfish d-bag in the other video. Seriously, what kind of man does that to a woman at a baseball game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxm262 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Unless you flat out catch it, I think an adult male is obligated to give the ball away to the nearest kid. You certainly don't rip it from a women's hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrthemike Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) That kid just made my day, I have some faith left in humanity. <edit> I watched it again and it looks like some dude with white hair and a red shirt sort of told the kid to give it to the younger one, not sure how much of it was due to a "good heart" and how much was due to "oh sh!t, i'm gonna get in trouble". Talking about this one (not the retard that ripped it from the woman): http://mlb.mlb.com/v...py_17123187&v=3 Edited July 22, 2011 by mrthemike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Kid seems mentally handicapped but I'm no expert. He was probably convinced to give it back which is probably why he dropped it instead of handing it back to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) One of my favorite Scott Gomez memories (ugh, I know) is in 05 when I was down watching practice. He tossed the puck to a kid next to me, but some dickhead leaned over the kid to catch it before it got to him. Gomer smacked the glass with his stick and mouthed "give it to the kid". The guy looked at him like "uh seriously?", Gomez pointed to the kid and gave the guy a really dirty look. It was awesome. That must've been before he sold his hockey soul and became a (bigger) douchebag I guess Edited July 22, 2011 by Devilsfan118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn01 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) "That is a very well bread young man." That was a pretty funny thing to say. Very nice. His parents actually did do a good job. The other video, I kinda feel, and I am going to go with this because I wont be so disgusted, that the guy who wrestled with the woman is mentally slow. He just kinda seems and looks like it. I broke a nail once in gym class back in highschool....it fvcking hurts so I know why girls always complain about it. Last season I was at a game when the Devils were playing Tampa and it was during warmups. My seat was back by Tampas side and these two dickholes were up on the glass pounding on it screaming things that you dont say around women or little kids and St.Louis was right there and he smacked his stick on the glass and started yelling at these two dudes and pointing back at the little kids. He was getting red in the face thats how upset he was about these two idiots then finally security came and kicked them out of the lower bowl. From that day on I was a St.Louis fan.

Devilsfan118 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Actually after a second watch, I think sammy and quinn might be right. It looks like the people sitting with the guy seemed to lean forward and tell the woman something...could've been explaining his condition.

RizzMB30 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Lmao @ Chimaira_Devil, It's really interesting of hearing about your guys stories about the pros that you've seen from them. I think hockey players have a lot of class...More than most other professional sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin226 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I definitely believe that if you catch the ball, you have the right to keep it no matter what age.. But I remember being at a minor league game and I was 15 and caught a foul ball.. This kid's mom a few seats over asked me if her kid could have the ball.. Ummmmm, NO!! Not only did I catch it, but I use these for pitching practice because they are high quality.. Not to mention that the whole fun of the thing is to catch the ball, not just to hold it.. So the other kid had no attachment to the thing, whereas I had caught it so I was proud of the achievement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a nice thing to bring to everyone's attention, infact, not to long ago I posted a video of something similar at the Tampa Bay prospect camp. Dont worry so much about what others are putting.

I have seen foul balls go into the stands and when an adult (especially adult male) over the age of 18 catches it, there is always some guy or woman with a kid near them that demands the ball for their kid. If the guy who caught it says no, he looks like a jackass to a bunch of people and I have seen fights break out over it. I just cannot beleive the nerve of some people literally demanding the ball that someone else caught all because they don't want to have their little crotchfruit's feelings hurt. This isnt the first time that I have seen you say this....and somehow I am still flabbergasted. The board hall monitors came down on him pretty hard when he first joined, so I guess this is payback?

Yea the usher or whoever that is defintely tells the kid to give it to the other one. I think a lot of people aren't seeing that. He was probably pissed afterwards and wondered why the other kid deserved it more than him, I know I would be. I definitely believe that if you catch the ball, you have the right to keep it no matter what age.. But I remember being at a minor league game and I was 15 and caught a foul ball..

Not to mention that the whole fun of the thing is to catch the ball, not just to hold it.. So the other kid had no attachment to the thing, whereas I had caught it so I was proud of the achievement I agree 100%. The ball isn't special just because it came from the field, it's special because it is proof that you caught it. When people ask him the story behind the ball, he's gonna be telling them that he was close to catching it, but some other kid got it and then one of the stadium employees made the kid hand it over. Wow, that's impressive. I have gone to minor league baseball games over the years and thank god I have never caught a foul ball. I have seen foul balls go into the stands and when an adult (especially adult male) over the age of 18 catches it, there is always some guy or woman with a kid near them that demands the ball for their kid.

I just cannot beleive the nerve of some people literally demanding the ball that someone else caught all because they don't want to have their little crotchfruit's feelings hurt. Indeed. In the original post, the guy who rips the ball out of the woman's hand is a jackass however. In that scenario I don't think he has the right to the ball. Some people turn into animals with this kind of stuff, like all the lunatics at the equipment sale a month ago.

He claims hes doing it for charity this year, so there's that. But I've seen him go for balls before... guy is a lunatic.
