Four-Year-Old Boy Muscled by Adult Fan for Baseball

(The Indianapolis Star)

The visiting St. Louis Cardinals led the Texas Rangers 12-0 in the third inning Sunday when a foul ball hit into the stands by Gary Matthews Jr. got more attention than anything on the field.

In the ensuing scramble, a husky man jumped over a row of seats and pinned a 4-year-old boy against the seats with his legs while diving to get the ball. To no avail, fans started chanting "Give him the ball! Give him the ball!"

But the boy, who wasn't injured, ended up with much more than one ball. In the next few minutes, both teams sent bats and balls to the boy, including Cardinals outfielder Reggie Sanders coming out between innings to do so.

"I'm a big fan of giving kids balls. He was a real jerk about it," Cardinals reliever Steve Kline said. "That's part of life, people like that in the world. . . . I don't understand."
