Buck O'Neil and JoPoz are at a game and a grown man catches a ball in the stands and was seated near a kid. People pressured him to give the ball up and some may have booed. Posnanski asked Buck if he could believe the guy and Buck supposedly just said "maybe he's got a kid of his own back home..."  @eric.akers Great story out of the Soul of Baseball.

I have never even touched one.  I am reminded of Rickey Henderson sitting in the stands after he retired. He caught a ball while sitting next to a little girl. He got flamed for not giving it to the little girl. He said something like, "I have never caught a ball before." I fear this will be me one day if I am ever at a game without my kids.
