No time to write today (busy Monday), but I was surprised at how much press the jackass who stole the ball from the little kid got. Tom Grieve really layed into him on the broadcast, but then I later saw John Kruk and the guys from Baseball Tonight talking about it, and it made all other kinds of national coverage, too. This link has a good summary of the events, plus a link to video of the ball fiasco and some commentary from players on it.
Reggie Sanders of the Cardinals did step up and get the kid some equipment. Here’s a picture of that.
