I had a similar incident happen to me when I was 11. We were at a Busch Stadium in 1970 for a Cub/Cardinal game. The Cubs were taking batting practice and Billy Williams was at the plate. In the outfield was utility player/back up catcher JC Martin shagging balls. I was back in open area near the Right field foul pole. I was wearing my Cub Hat and T shirt and was talking to JC Martin off and on. Williams hit a fly ball and Martin caught it. He turned and tossed it to me. I dropped it and as I reached for it an adult pushed me to the floor, took the ball and ran. No one else was there and JC Martin had run back to the dugout while it occurred. I was one sad kid that day !!!!

What a total jerk! that's the cleanest thing I can say...
...If I'd caught that ball, it would have been intended for one of my grand kids...
...I would have picked it up after the guy that grabbed it from me, dropped it....which was right after I broke his face...that type of attitude needs a butt kickin' adjustment...to make him realize he shouldn't have done that...what BS...
Probably got a man-bun. Yes, he needs to have his jaw jacked.
Yep, some people just need a good ole fashioned.........welll you know......whooping!
I am 100% convinced that is why MOST people act like they do now. They havent had their teeth knocked in.....ever.
I have seen plenty of videos of fist fights over just that.
The meek shall inherit the earth..........but they don't leave MLB parks with baseballs.
The only way that could be any worse is if he stole it from a kid. What a dick.
Neo, I would consider the young man a kid. Looks like he might be 14 or 15.
Ball thief needs a mud hole stomped in his *.
I went back and watched it again, Butchdog, and I believe you're right, he is just a kid! Let me reiterate, what a dick!
He's been identified and is being "outed" on the web.
Hope they pile on him deep and heavy.

Well good for the security guard and the Royals folks for making the kids day after the game and I hope the scumbag that did it get's a whole lot of back lash!
