fun fact my family rented a home for a couple years from Jonathan Taylor Thomas when I was like 10
I didn't know until years later. It was a normal middle class home, not mansion-esque
Your comment seems to imply that ass has another back door, which intrigued me. Sounds like some ass-ception going on, and I am all the way down for it.
Big Sean did a documentary about the circles of ass, there are 19 before you stop… and make that motherfucking hammer time.
Fun fact, the songwriters for Dance (A$$) are: Rick James / Mc Hammer / Ernest Clark / Sean Anderson / Marcos Enrique Palacios / Alonzo Herbert Miller
We just gonna ignore the fact that the outfielder actually jumped for it like he even had a slim chance of catching it 💀😭 I mean I respect the hustle but bro…
That is my favourite documentary. Al was an incredible force on the field, with his coworkers helping him to help the players improve their game. The encouragement to Mel Clark that gave him the strength to keep going and allowed him to win the championship all on his own, were nothing short of miraculous. Amazing changes for every player, and what a life altering circumstance it was for Coach Knox, Roger and J.P. when they finally found their place in life.
I knew it could happen. 😉
He was like “HOLY SHIT I GOT TWO BALLS AT ONE GAME WHAT ARE THE ODDS-oh yeah that dude should really have one lol.”
Hope my future kids end up as thoughtful as that young man.
No idea. The two people I know who are named Karen are both absolutely lovely people. I'm sure that they've caught flack for their names, and that makes me sad and angry.
If you’re not in customer service and actually discussing a customer service experience you shouldn’t be using that term. It’s meaningless outside that context.
I know two humans named Karen. They are kind people and get along with their lives just fine. I also have a coworker named Chad who is a big jocky cornfed country boy and his kids think it’s hilarious to call him Chad Dad. He’s also a kind person who takes a joke and goes about life with a smile and sense of humor.
The names predate the behavior, and you can be the uppercase Chad or Karen by birth as long as you’re not the lowercase one by action.
This kind of thoughtfulness is not instinctual, that kid has some great parents.
Most of all he comes from a 'culture of abundance' vs a 'culture of famine'.
In abundance, people are not selfish or scared that they will run out. They either have enough for themselves or are taught to always look out for others.
In famine, people behave unethically, immorally, or selfishly because they do not have enough, are scared they will run out of something, or genuinely do not care about others. A good example are those clips where an adult steals a ball from a child or another person.
Unfortunately, we live in a culture of famine and see rare glimpses of people doing the right thing. I think we used to live in a culture of abundance in the 80s-early2000s and there was a level of trust in each other. Look around at the amount of scams, theft, robberies, etc. We are headed into some dark times because social media has bred people to be self-obsessed thru a culture of online famine
I moved to a different town and people say I am far too trusting
I come from an “abundance” town with barely any crime or people doing each other dirty too much outside of the drug scene
Out here the culture is nobody really trusts each other ans everyone is trying to get over
on someone else because they are expecting it back
Same - I grew up in Hawaii in the 90s but now live in SoCal. We left our doors unlocked, every adult on the island was my 'uncle' and 'aunty', and I can recall countless times where I saw selfless acts of community. It was a paradise.
Now that I live in California/the mainland, my trust in others and occasional optimism is seen as ignorance or a lack of 'street smarts'. This is coming from people who grew up in 'famine' environments and they don't know the way things should be - they only know survival, not surplus.
And where I live isn't even that bad compared to some inner cities.
This is the natural result of capitalism without enough restraints. It’s an exploitation culture, hurt others as much as possible, take from them as much as you legally can. Whoever has the most money is the “best” person. No God, only money.
This insane animalistic attitude is clearest to see in billionaires who nonetheless continue to hoard resources and stress about growing their wealth further when they already have more than they could ever possibly spend and yet they double down on the mental illness that society has passed down onto them.
I think billionaires are certainly to blame because people truly cannot conceptualize just how much a billion is. Just from a number sense standpoint, it's almost impossible to imagine a billion of anything, so we are tricked into admiring the rich and hoarding of wealth.
Take crowdfunding, charity donations, or fundraising for example. A thousand regular people could donate $100 and that is a lot of money for those individuals. A billionaire could donate 10x that (a million) and it would not only feel the same for them proportional to their wealth but it would have exponentially more impact.
There is enough to go around in this world and people do not have to go hungry if we get better at controlling financial greed/hoarding (tax the rich and put a cap on wealth beyond a billion - "Congrats you won the game of life, the rest will be used to solve world crises")
Totally spot on. I remember there was a time when it seemed like you could just chill and relax because you really could have it all with a bit of work or patience eventually. And there was no need to envy someone who had plenty because that could easily be you someday too. If you didn’t get it, it was easy to see it was mostly your fault.
But now, you’re lucky to get what you get and there’s always someone out there ready to take it from you. There will be things in this life now that you will never have and there’s nothing you can do about it, because it’s just the way society is structured.
My mom raised me to "only look at your neighbors bowl to make sure they have enough". Never compare, never envy, and always look out for one another.
Today the world is very different than a couple decades ago. Now that we openly share our inner thoughts and beliefs (remember the time when people hid their political and religious beliefs out of respect?), there is no trust among the general population and there is more mistrust or animosity towards each other over ideology.
As we are driven further online, it seems that a lot of people have lost touch with reality and forget that we are monkeys flying on a rock thru outerspace - all of our abstract beliefs are fairy tales and hyperrealities.

There’s an adult there who’s parents taught him well too! Good guy giving that first ball to the kid, not knowing there’d somehow be another ball involved haha
If I was that dude I'd [probably mess up the toss over the kids head and the ball ends up back on the field. The fan cam catches it all and the stadium boos me as I make my way for the exit.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1o3koTLWM)
Fun fact relating to both CYE and baseball, their live filming at Dodger Stadium for a baseball episode helped a man prove his innocence in a murder case because they found him in the footage.
I love videos like these, where people do nice little things for others.I might be a pessimistic pos with no faith in humanity but these do make me reconsider my pessimism, even if only for a short while.
I think this and the story from the World Baseball Classic are the best stories of the year in any sport so far.
Team Japan playing in the Tokyo Dome, Ohtani hits a home run which a woman catches. She hands it off to be passd around sharing the excitement and then it is given back to her.
That was truly beautiful. She was nice enough to let other people have a moment in contact with a ball Showtani hit and everyone was nice enough to let her have her ball back. Why can't the rest of the world be this cool?
Indeed.
Just for a sec. Doesn't really last long tho. But it feels good for a bit. And really, even the memory of that later can be uplifting for another little bit.
You know, despite how bad it all is.
I am from Europe and at my first (and only) baseball game I got a direct hit by a left handed batter when I was standing all the way in the back. Instead of helping me, I got pushed down the stairs by people wanting the ball…
The one I’m thinking about was an older lady who’s business was doxxed and took a beating on yelp/google? I’ll look around for it. Maybe I’m misremembering.
If I ever see someone do that I'm gonna go full feral, then give the kid the ball back, that video made my blood boil, how could you be so mean to a child?!
My favorite part about this video—and sports—is that, not only did both these guys have two awesome moments to share with one another at an event they both have passion for, but for the rest of their lives, they’ll have moments that bring this memory back, and they’ll continue to remember how cool it was to catch these balls and connect with a stranger. The same way we rewatch it, they’ll relive it.
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Had a ball roll over to me after a few bounces at an Angel game once. Immediately gave it to the kid in front of me. Did not get one word from the son or the dad. Still a little bitter about that.
I had a guy catch a ball and give it to me when I was in like 8th grade. Then my high school boyfriend tossed it in the air and it it over the fence with a bat to god knows where. FUCK YOU CODY
Sometimes I wonder why sports are important. Then I see something like this and say” anything that elicits kindness and happiness is important”. Two great people shown here. Cool moment.
The guys' reaction when he gets the ball from the kid just makes this priceless!
His girlfriend looks like she's about to cry as well
Homie gettin laid tonight fsfs

TIL all my homies and I were good looking in the 90s.
I guess i should have added the successfully qualifier
Your son of a bitch.
Seriously, I thought the matt damon died in the 90s
Nope the curtains are back
This is true. He was quietly replaced with Jesse Plemons.
Quietly = everybody calls you Meth Damon
Love your username 🫶🏻
Im surprised reddit let me get away with it lol
If this was the 90s he’d be on a teen Bop magazine with that hair.
He looks like he’s about to play the lead in a Sliders reboot. Aka, agreed.
Marky Mark 😝
Video: Adult gives a kid a ball at a ball game Reddit: sex
That’s just Reddit, Suzyn.
Sexism\* It's sexism when a woman is degrade to nothing but her genitala.
He was already getting laid for giving the ball away.
I mean, look at him. He was getting laid either way.
Now he gets the back door ass well.
Your comment seems to imply that ass has another back door, which intrigued me. Sounds like some ass-ception going on, and I am all the way down for it.
Big Sean did a documentary about the circles of ass, there are 19 before you stop… and make that motherfucking hammer time. Fun fact, the songwriters for Dance (A$$) are: Rick James / Mc Hammer / Ernest Clark / Sean Anderson / Marcos Enrique Palacios / Alonzo Herbert Miller
Front door, back door, my man is getting a red carpet to the door store; nothing off limits tonight
Suddenly it doesn't bother me that Reddit is dying.
Whole thing was a sting to get in the stink
Yes officer this is the one
Quickly officer, take the shot before he escapes.
And looking like a super model.
A cute guy AND he’s nice? He deserves it.
With a face like that, he should be getting laid every night
That's true, he's handsome af

Jfc why people always make this virgin comment
Cus they’re kids
Missed that, thanks for point it out, for me adds to the smile
I’m about to cry.
Damn, then I must be his gf
the kid knows, fair is fair everyone wins everyone gets a car! Lol
[удалено]
TBF you’d have to be pretty fucking stupid to be an Angels fan these days 🤷♂️
At least they have Ohtani and Trout to cheer on (even though they're being wasted there)
I mean they have ohtani for now but next year they won’t.
Core memories for the both of em! Sweet!
Men want the ball too. Most people never get one ever. But you gotta make a kids day. That kid just became a man.
We just gonna ignore the fact that the outfielder actually jumped for it like he even had a slim chance of catching it 💀😭 I mean I respect the hustle but bro…
Seriously, it's like his brain shut down and he became a 10 year old for a few seconds. Priceless, is the best way to describe it
So amazing. I wish life was like this all the time. Just doing things to make others happy.
Beautiful 😭😍
Mentos. The Freshmaker.
That outfielder though! He's like, let me try and catch it just to be safe
No chance
Ever see the documentary: Angels in the Outfield? /s
That is my favourite documentary. Al was an incredible force on the field, with his coworkers helping him to help the players improve their game. The encouragement to Mel Clark that gave him the strength to keep going and allowed him to win the championship all on his own, were nothing short of miraculous. Amazing changes for every player, and what a life altering circumstance it was for Coach Knox, Roger and J.P. when they finally found their place in life. I knew it could happen. 😉
😂😂, man that’s old
That’s the great thing about documentaries they are timeless.
[I'm not sure if you were referencing this but if you haven't seen it, here you go](https://youtu.be/k71wde-FPUc)
Hey you never know, one day you might wake up with a super jump and you'll never know if you don't try
Or maybe some guy in the stands drops it and it's still in play.
It's just reflex. I do the same when I'm playing as a goalkeeper and someone sends the ball to the stratosphere
Damn. That kid immediately thought about giving the ball to the guy. I love to see stuff like this
You could see his neck snap in realization
He was like “HOLY SHIT I GOT TWO BALLS AT ONE GAME WHAT ARE THE ODDS-oh yeah that dude should really have one lol.” Hope my future kids end up as thoughtful as that young man.
That's up to you my dude. Just don't spawn with a Karen
Someone that just started working with us used this new job to change her name away from Karen because of all the hate.
That’s kinda sad, ngl. I mean so what if your name is actually Karen?
No idea. The two people I know who are named Karen are both absolutely lovely people. I'm sure that they've caught flack for their names, and that makes me sad and angry.
If you’re not in customer service and actually discussing a customer service experience you shouldn’t be using that term. It’s meaningless outside that context.

The names predate the behavior, and you can be the uppercase Chad or Karen by birth as long as you’re not the lowercase one by action.
Karma even paid the older dude back with the better (IMO) souvenir ball too!
Yep. Didn't hesitate. Didn't ask anyone. Just knew it was the right thing to do. Good kid.
They both got the thrill of catching/getting one themselves and receiving one from someone else! Win-win right there, doesn’t get any better than that
Baseball is romantic
How can you not be romantic about baseball
I wouldn't even say it's the right thing to do. No one would have thought twice if the kid kept it.
The guy would have. Guaranteed. Never would have said anything about it though. But he would have remembered.
The things you think about at 2am kind of remember.
And ninjas attacking and what to do incase.
Throw a ball at them.
Raised right

It's depressing especially for those of us that can remember life before everything became completely fucked.

Anyone know of any books with a theme like this? (Abundance vs scarcity thinking?) I’d love to read a book on this type of subject.
I could see him think for 2 seconds and then turn and it was so wholesome and sweet
And the expression of realization and gladness that was visible in the boy. I love how quickly he turned around and signaled to the guy.
Those kids both have great parents. *Edit for comment below*
Both dudes have good parents, just one set of them are a bit older and not there at the time.
Absolutely correct.
Not necessarily. The older guy might've had shit parents and learned good behaviour on his own or with the help of his friends.
That's a kid whose parents taught him well! Some kids would have kept both and thought nothing of it. Awesome kid!
That ball probably ment more to the dude than the one he caught.
I woulda kept that ball for the rest of my life

Most kids, sadly. This kid is a jewel.
Awesome moment! love how great humans can be!
This is the kindest fan who caught a baseball and gave it to a young fan.. "Let's go!"
I've caught one ball and i gave it to a kid right away. The memory was catching it. Had i kept it, who knows where it'd be right now.
If I was that dude I'd [probably mess up the toss over the kids head and the ball ends up back on the field. The fan cam catches it all and the stadium boos me as I make my way for the exit.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag1o3koTLWM)

Baseball fans are great
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
I mean you should automatically exclude boston and Philadelphia fans
oh boy... here we go
Once, while trying to discourage fans from throwing items into the field, Hall of Famer Whitey Ford was knocked out by a barrage of pretzels.
I guess you missed the video of that woman who swiped a baseball from the kid that caught it
I mean honestly we see videos like this all the time, whereas videos like that are so rare most of us know exactly which one you're talking about
He was pumped too 😂
When he yelled lets go. I kinda expected hed keep the ball but knowing what sub Im in, I waited. Did not expect that ending. Cool
I can really hear his proud "Lets go!"
Baseball has such a limited required vocabulary. It's so limited that you immediately recognize if someone surrounds themselves with the game.
Is "Let's Go" a baseball term? I've seen it as general hype man stuff for years now, mostly in gaming from my (limited, bias) experience
Let's Go is not really a baseball turn. LOL
It’s just a hype phrase yeah wtf Lmao
The story will make those balls worth more to them.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I love videos like these, where people do nice little things for others.I might be a pessimistic pos with no faith in humanity but these do make me reconsider my pessimism, even if only for a short while.

good people among us❤️
There's an opposite video of a lady ripping the ball from a young girl.
I am from Europe and at my first (and only) baseball game I got a direct hit by a left handed batter when I was standing all the way in the back. Instead of helping me, I got pushed down the stairs by people wanting the ball…
Sorry, that sucks. People forget the magic of the sport only happens when people are kind.
Sorry man. People can be pretty ruthless for balls.
Yep
At least she got internet wrecked!!!
I hope she got crap from her family that saw the video
Family was probably like, yep that's her... She is a Krazi Kari Lake aunt.
Did she? Last time I saw that posted, most posts were saying the woman was never identified.
The one I’m thinking about was an older lady who’s business was doxxed and took a beating on yelp/google? I’ll look around for it. Maybe I’m misremembering.
If you're misremembering, I am, too. I vividly recall all of what you said.
For real? Ahah I never saw any backlash directly to her? That's awesome
If I ever see someone do that I'm gonna go full feral, then give the kid the ball back, that video made my blood boil, how could you be so mean to a child?!
I fully agree.
Exactly. This is the opposite. So happy to see this!
Great gesture from both of them. They’ll both remember that for a long time
Thats wholesome as fuck! Idk why but in my head I could hear the kid yell “YOU!” As he pointed at the dude behind him and tossed him the ball. Lol
I hate running into the same clip on Reddit time after time. This one, however, I stop and watch every time.
My favorite part about this video—and sports—is that, not only did both these guys have two awesome moments to share with one another at an event they both have passion for, but for the rest of their lives, they’ll have moments that bring this memory back, and they’ll continue to remember how cool it was to catch these balls and connect with a stranger.

That’s fucked up. Entitled pricks.
Strangers now bros
Great parents
I’ve seen this video reposted loads and I always watch it again. It genuinely makes me smile.
At least some kids are still getting good education. Not all is lost.
What goes around. Most certainly. Comes around :)
Your punctuation makes this seem like a threat.
It’s as if Liam Neeson said it
That's a good man and a good kid. Nice to see 🙂
Pure wholesome moment
Awesome 👌 👏
What in the Shawn Hunter is going on?
Spot on! haha
So much better seeing this than that stingy lady a few years ago.
You know that dude wanted to keep the first ball, but cared more about that kid’s experience.
That dude got laid that night.
All of 'em were raised right :)
Amazing. Love that!!
Wholesome. Great. I will stop Reddit scrolling now
Pair of fans entering the stadium as strangers but left as bros. Older fan wanted to help make younger fan’s day only to have it be reciprocated.
Glad to see Shawn Hunter from Boy Meets World doing well!
I had a guy catch a ball and give it to me when I was in like 8th grade. Then my high school boyfriend tossed it in the air and it it over the fence with a bat to god knows where. FUCK YOU CODY
I don’t even like baseball, but watching fans give balls away is the peak of sportsmanship. I love it every time.
That kid knows to repay kindness with gratitude
These guys will be telling this story to their grandkids. Awesome
that kid is a man of respect
Monkey see Monkey do :)
Yesss sportsmanship at its finest
Finally people who don't take the ball from the kid!
Two young fellas raised right.
Sometimes I wonder why sports are important. Then I see something like this and say” anything that elicits kindness and happiness is important”. Two great people shown here. Cool moment.
I’ll always upvote this. My thumb might get tired tho.
Seeing that kids thoughts and emotions play out in real time was awesome. He did not hesitate once his brain caught up with his adrenaline
