They are hunting for this Karen now....calling her every name in the book including HOA rule enforcement officer to school administrator to notorious bartender/waitress to a Elizabeth Warren wannabe. (Pocahontas in congress)
The loose ball is completely fair game....doesn't matter that there were empty seats between them. A loose ball is fair game.
And as far as the ball?
Available for $25 on the internet. Official ball of baseball.
But the biggest thing is that an adult caught ball is immediately given to a nearby kid after celebrating the catch/grab. Which is what the Dad did precisely. (As should every adult)
What the woman did was a prime example of the worst example of human behavior possible. Her behavior is a common expression of the lowest of the low behavior as something that reasonable people never do. We talk about stealing candy from babies as a joke....not a reality. And Karen performed a reality.
Living a life of generosity doesn't need a lot of money. Because even a poor person can be generous.
They are hunting for her and will eventually find her....she will be humiliated and scorned everywhere she goes and most public restaurants will refuse her service. Her life is over due to a stupid ball she couldn't let a little boy keep. What a selfish, stupid woman.
Take her behavior as a warning.
Well,no it isn't a free for all for the ball. If it were everyone in all the seats near and far would go for it all at once.
The ball landed near her feet. The dad was well away and wrong for scooping it up right under her nose.
As for your judgement of her,that's wayyyy overboard. Hopefully baseball fans have more class than that.
The kid got the better deal afterward.
Because it isn't that big a deal.
Hopefully she'll be forgotten in a week. One way to insure that is to stop giving this silly incident attention well after the fact.
