They say a screencap is worth a thousand words.
Well, actually, I don't know if they ? whoever they are ? actually say that, but it really holds true with this freeze frame above. A little girl was upset during the eighth inning of Wednesday's Brewers-Marlins game in Miami because an older man who should have known better stepped in and intercepted a baseball that Milwaukee's Norichika Aoki threw in the direction to the girl and a young boy with a glove. It's been awhile since we've posted a clip like this, but it's going straight into the fan-baseball mishap Hall of Fame. It's as if�McKayla Maroney met�the oblivious Texas baseball couple!The good news is that the little girl, who says she's in the fourth grade, later did an enthusiastic dance and got a ball between innings without any doofus stealing it away from her. And she received another when a sympathetic lady gifted a baseball to her. Oh, and she got to do a television interview before the end of the game. All on what was presumably a school night. That'll make for a great story to tell her class on Thursday.
At any rate, you can watch the whole clip below. Meanwhile, I'll be creating a new Change.org petition that moves to implement a new rule of ballpark etiquette: If you're over 12 years old and you're not trying to help a young relative secure a souvenir, you have absolutely no reason to be jockeying on the rail for a baseball.
