Kid Gets Foul Ball to Young Lady Behind Him

((ht: mlb.com))

Oh to be young and willing to give.

Check out what happened Friday night at the Boston Red Sox/Toronto Blue Jays game in Beantown.

Bottom of the 4th inning and a foul ball rolls down the 3rd base side of the field. The ball girl picks it up and walks over and hands the ball to a little kid sitting on the front row.

Cool. It's what you should do, give a little kid the ball if you get one.

What happened next, well, the little kid (12-year old Ryan) turned chivalrous and hands the ball to a young girl (Reese) sitting right behind him much to the surprise of the young lady and her mom.

Wait, it gets better.

After seeing what happened, the Red Sox TV team (Dan Orsillo and Jerry Remy) decided to send down a gift bag to the young lad.

He proceeded to share it with his new friend.

Awww....

Cleveland Indian Fan Greg Niel

What are the odds of catching a foul ball when you attend a MLB game?  Think about it, it's pretty rare that you leave with a free souvenir.

Then you have Cleveland Indian season ticket holder Greg Niel who caught four foul balls Sunday during the Indians/Royals game.

Here's Niel catching foul ball number four.

Heads Up: Brewers Sideline Reporter Hit By Foul

((ht: sportsgrid.com))

Maybe we just didn't hear the "heads up" because this was recorded off TV. Or it did not happen.

Either way, the video here is pretty funny.

Sophia Minnaert, sideline reporter for the regional Fox Sports Net that does Brewers games is caught by surprise Sunday afternoon when in the middle of a report, a ball goes flying in her direction and hits her...in the microphone, knocking it out of her hands.

Minnaert stands there stunned for a second before picking up and continuing her report.

She's lucky and props to her for staying focused.
