Jackass of the Year Nominee
From ESPN: "A man sitting behind [4-year-old] Nick O'Brien at a Texas Rangers baseball game Sunday knocked the boy against the seats as he dived to get a foul ball. Fans started chanting 'Give him the ball!' but the man wouldn't give it up." At least the players came and gave the kid some autographed stuff, which is very cool.
I was once at a very silly but remarkably entertaining indoor football game at which a middle aged fan caught a ball (which you could keep, at this game), literally intercepting it before a kid caugt it. The whole place booed, but he was clueless. Honestly, I don't think he realized - he was so proud of himself. Amazing.
UPDATE: The guy tries to make it right
