Gentleman snatches ball meant for kid at game, but Cubs make it right

During yesterday's game at Wrigley Field, one of the coaches tossed a ball to a young boy sitting in the front row. But when it slipped through his hands and rolled under his seat, a fully grown gentleman sitting behind him snatched it up and handed it to a woman he was sitting with.

From USA Today:

When first base coach Will Venable tossed a baseball to a young fan seated in the first row, the ball got away and bounced beneath the seat. That was when a middle-aged man in the second row grabbed the baseball and gleefully handed it to the woman next to him. They all had a laugh at the kid's expense. It was senselessly inconsiderate.

Thankfully, the Cubs took notice to these fans' behavior and made sure the young kid not only got himself a baseball but also one-upped those Adult Baseball Fans.

The Cubs made it up to the boy by giving him two balls, one signed by player Javy Baez.

This isn't the first time an adult has grabbed a ball from a child at a game. Take a look at the montage below.
