(40,409 posts)Sunday outrage gives way to Monday fact-checking. If you were one of the people who (reasonably) got very angry at a short video clip appearing to show an adult Cubs fan intercepting a ball meant for a child, you can stand down. The man, it now appears, is a good guy who does not deserve this at all, and indeed gave away every ball he gotincluding, earlier, one to that very same child.
The clip came from Sunday afternoons win over the Cardinals, and it was long enough to infuriate, short enough to strip context. It showed the first-base coach tossing a ball toward a young fan, said ball rolling beneath the seats and getting snagged by a grown-up one row behind. The man appeared to celebrate over his trophy, and handed to his wife, all while the child looked on.
