Sunny spin on Ohtani’s stormy spring is a joke

Without context, the now viral video appears to show Cubs first base coach Will Venable clearly tosses a foul ball to the young fan sitting in the first row but the before the boy is able to get a hold of the ball, this jackass grown man sitting behind him grabs it, briefly celebrates, and then proudly hands it over to a woman, presumably his wife. This obviously looks like a major dick move by the adult who grabbed the foul ball. After all, one of the unwritten rules of baseball fandom is that adults are supposed to let kids have first shot at any balls that end up in the stands. The Cubs even gave the kid a ball signed by Cubs infielder Javy Baez.
