One young Giants fan had a tough night in San Francisco on Monday. Not only did he fail at securing a Brandon Crawford ground rule double in the second inning, the ball hopped over the wall and took out the kid’s knee, sending him to the ground hard.
And if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, the kid couldn’t seem to hold it together and the waterworks were unleashed as he tried to recover from the injury.
The one good thing about crying – especially as a little kid – is that people will feel bad for you and do anything to get you to stop, including giving you the souvenir baseball that they rightfully earned. That’s exactly what the nice man who secured the ball did and, wouldn’t ya know it, the kid’s pain magically disappeared almost immediately.
Look at him raise that ball in triumph like he actually did something to deserve it.
