    Yeah, we all feel that way.

    But I'm also willing to bet none of us would have reached over you brother to take the ball from his wife. Like all the other fans prodding her (literally), we would have just encouraged her to toss it back, and let her enjoy it, and then High-Fived her. His action was bad Karma that led to the tying run, amirite.

    Kirk was Mad Bro

    it was disgusting. My dad is super old school and he actually stood up from his chair and told them "throw that **** back" then was able to sit down when the ball was rightfully returned to the field. He then fell asleep shortly after.

    No, I think my wife would get mad
    And they would be one hell of a dick, especially since it would be a gift for my son.

    If you have a Dodgers jersey on, that's cool. That's your ball. You earned it. If you have an Astros jersey on and you catch that ball and celebrate it while the rest of the stadium is hurting then hell ya someone needs to do what Kirk the almighty did and throw that **** back.

    I wouldn't celebrate it, but it is a memento, and since we won, not something to hate. Throwing it back doesn't take it off the scoreboard.

    To each his own, but I would be so weirded out if my pops gave me a dodgers home run ball as a gift lmao.

    Not exactly something to celebrate.

    Nobody would have noticed (at least nobody at home watching tv) if they didn't act like the Astros just won the damn World Series by catching a Dodger homer that actually made the game look pretty grim at the moment.

    I'd punch my dad in the face and try to rip the mask off of him because I would be like "you are not my father who are you, who is controlling your mind"

    heat of the moment, I think even if he didn't snatch it right away, the crowd would have pressured her enough to throw it back anyway. I guess it's not as bad because they are kinda family.

    My son is 10, just started having a moderate interest in baseball, and we won the game. Trust me when I say he would love it regardless. You don't celebrate it, but it is something cool to have. I didn't throw out my Mark Appel cleats because he sucked and got traded for a guy that is sucking at the most important time. I just keep them in the closet instead of on display.

    If it was the Correa ball, do you think I'd give it to him? **** no. That is my ball.

    First of all, if I knew my sister in law had no business being at crucial game 5 being a t-shirt fan, not only would I have punched my brother for wasting the money for no reason, I wouldve punched her as well, reached over and grabbed that ball from her, thrown it onto the field and smiled. Then, I wouldve collected her tears in mini Blue Bell ice cream baseball helmet that I would have ripped from a kids hands and drank it right in front of her.

    She lyin', tho. No way she was gonna throw that back, partyin' like she won the lotto. Kirk isn't the hero we deserve, but he's the hero we need right now.
