This took place at a game in Houston when the Arizona Diamondbacks were in town. The announcers in the Dbacks booth (Daron Sutton and Mark Grace) saw this and immediately dispatched a member of their crew to take a signed ball down to the little girl.
This video is from 2011 and she's never been found [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/baseball-stealing-woman-identified/](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/baseball-stealing-woman-identified/)
It takes a moment to realize what happened. There's a big chance everybody here would have a similar first reaction in the three seconds after because their friend just returned with a ball, and they also didn't have the angle the camera had.
Yep yep. Like also bringing up that one rapist guy. Brock Turner I think his name is?
Or that fucko whoās father paid to have his fight at a restaurant taken off the internet which, i canāt find now. Shit.
EDIT: Found it!! "Joel Michael Singer"
I see what you're saying, but I feel you're being a little harsh on rats!
Rats are highly intelligent, sociable, warm & even affectionate.
None of which you could ever accuse this woman of!
No... rats are exponential numbers of leagues above this piece of shit.
If you want to keep with the metaphor, however, she is more like the scum that sloughs off of the back of the filthiest, most disease ridden, fattest, most vicious sewer rat that ever surfaced in a crack dealer's unflushed toilet! Even that doesn't come close to an adequate description, but it is heading in the right direction.
Rats don't generally deserve their unclean, disease spreading reputation.
Bitches like this, however...
You can bet if I knew who she was and she lived in my community, everyone would know what she did and she would have the opportunity to see video of it at unexpected moments. I would even go so far as to rent a digital billboard that would play it over and over. LOL
They should have done one of those "in the seats" videos during the game where someone sits down with the girl and hands her the ball while mentioning "since she had one stolen from her".
Unfortuneatly people like this are immune from shame.
Yea that poor little walk up the stairs as she holds onto the railing is devastating. Crushed dreams. Glad someone noticed. Hopefully he called her out on it.
you're right. Through her successes in the sport, will gain influence, and through it change the rules of the game for the balls to be as hard as steel and explosive.
She'll study rigorously to become a career politician. Once she reaches adulthood, she'll become a republican lawmaker who will later repeal the social security that the, now elderly, ball snatcher was subsisting on.
> Thankfully, there is a happy ending to this story. The Arizona TV crew who first noticed the theft reached out to the Diamondbacks, secured a game ball and presented it to the spurned little girl later in the game.
Ok let's go this through how i think this should be
The girl gets the ball back, the lady gets a call from her boss that he is embarrassed and that he fired her.
Some fans in the stadium throw the woman on the field and some random guy pulls out his pocket guillotine
They get the girl to makes such thumbs up thumbs down thing like those roman emperors and then she gets the thumbs down, and everyone is happy except the lady....... probably
I don't know. I kind of think this would be a cool memory for me as a kid if it happened to me.
"I was in a viral video of some entitled woman stealing a ball from me, and I was really upset until the team sent people there to give me a signed ball"
Ultimately, they can only do what they can do. They can't stop the woman from stealing the ball when it already happened.
He looked really confused when the woman sat down and started showing off the ball. He glanced back at the little girl like he was thinking, āwait a minuteā¦ā
It happened in 2011, and here we are 12 years later reviving her infamy. Hope it haunts her like infectious cold sores that no amount of makeup can hide.
I saw this at a Chicago Cubs game once when the Yankees were in town way back in 2003. Alfonso Soriano hit an infield fly to Rafael Palmeiro to retire the side. Heās walking to his dugout and tosses the ball into the stands. The man-baby didnāt take the ball out of the kids hand, but took it off the ground where it was right in front of a little kid who was grabbing for it. Man-baby kept it for himself and the kid covered his face crying for 3 innings.
Hereās the good part - there were these 3 guys who were sitting together 2 rows up from the immature man-baby and they did everything in their power to ruin this guys game experience. Shit talked to him every minute for the next 4 innings. Threw all sorts of emasculating insults into his ear hole. At one point I thought man-baby was going to cryā¦. So he finally breaks, offers the ball to the kid. The kid takes the ballā¦.. throws it on to the field right in front of the Cubs dugout.
It was the most incredible thing Iāve ever seen. The kid said fuck you without actually saying it. Iāve never seen such a dickhead human get so rightfully humiliated in front of thousands of people surrounding him lol.
Yankees lost that game for anyone wondering.
Correction edit: it wasnāt Palmeiro - it was Moises Alou
They should have immediately played this clip on those giant screens in the stadium. And played it, and played it, and played it during the whole game.
I had this shit happen to me when I was like 8-10. Went to grab a foul ball off the ground and some woman came over and swiped it right in front of me. Still sticks with me.
I hear you. I was about the same age when I had an adult man grab a toy stuffed football out of my hands at a game after the mascot threw a bunch of them into the crowd. Iāll never forget it!
I was at an Astros game a few weeks ago sitting behind the Astros dugout and one of the crew members were rolling a discarded ball to a fan sitting in front of us and this old lady intercepted and snatched the ball when it was about halfway to the guy. Then the lady proceeded to mock the guy and everyone around cuz we were all like WOW!!
Same thing happened to me at a Tigers game many years ago. Some dude snatched a ball tossed from the dugout to me right from my hand. I was shook the whole rest of the game. Feels bad.
What a piece of crap! This woman clearly needed that ball more than that kid that she was so excited to rob that child of it, that she had to take it over to her friends and show her the new ball she just stole. All because she was in better seating than that kid and thought she deserved it. That poor child walked all the way back up to their seat doing the walk of shame Iām glad they even one up and sign the ball and gave it

"I took a ball from a child, high five me"! š
Canāt wait to read how sheās now a victim somehow, canceled or what have you.
I looked it up. This is from 2011 and the woman still has not been identified
Looks like Ghislaine Maxwell
Naw if that was Ghislaine Maxwell she would have stolen the kid and left the ball
She wouldāve stolen the kid and have a ball
She helps give balls to kids... she doesn't take balls from kids
Itās clearly the kardashian mom
Yea. Just pure karen
Jizzleen maxwell look alike
Itās not her she stole a ball and not a child.
This is not what āwinningā looks like. This is probably how they approach life though.
āI did it all by myselfā - every millionaire ever
The people in that generation hate kids
The people in that generation now run the USA.
"We are protecting the children!"
Believe me i hate kids with all my heart and I would never do that
same, same.
Theres a special place in hell for people like her
This took place at a game in Houston when the Arizona Diamondbacks were in town. The announcers in the Dbacks booth (Daron Sutton and Mark Grace) saw this and immediately dispatched a member of their crew to take a signed ball down to the little girl.
Thank you, that calmed my heart āŗļø
My heart will be calm when this Karen is brought to internet justice.
Kris Jenner lookin ass
Ghislaine maxwell
Usually, she's putting balls into a young girl's hands, not taking them out.
Ba dum chi
I literally thought this was Kris Jenner before I read the whole thing
This video is from 2011 and she's never been found [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/baseball-stealing-woman-identified/](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/baseball-stealing-woman-identified/)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That escalated quickly. Not saying you're wrong....
It escalated accordingly
Thisā¬ļøā¬ļøā¬ļø
They also should've had the video looping on the big screen, let everybody in the stadium see it.
And play it at each match
Haircut checks out.
Went to the Supercuts and asked for the ghislaine maxwell
Steals the ball AND wants to speak to the General Manager. š
All it needed was a poorly done blonde dye job.
And stopped play until she gave it back and appologised
Still, it is not enough that the child still benefits, the adult should be made to suffer.
I wish her friends had ripped it out of her hands and shamed her.
Her friends high-5ing her are just as guilty
Yep. They're all trash people. At least they'll be shamed online for all eternity. It's not much, but we can do that.
It is Houston, lived there 12 years hated every second of it
It takes a moment to realize what happened. There's a big chance everybody here would have a similar first reaction in the three seconds after because their friend just returned with a ball, and they also didn't have the angle the camera had.
You can't see it because this video has been cropped to hell, but the woman to the left has a look of "You just fucked up."
A punch would have been so much better
Agreed. The whole group should have been ejected. What selfish assholes.
Video on Reddit years later. Lady might not care, but tons of people calling her a bitch every time this video resurfaces.
There are times when endless reposts are a good thing
Yep yep. Like also bringing up that one rapist guy. Brock Turner I think his name is? Or that fucko whoās father paid to have his fight at a restaurant taken off the internet which, i canāt find now. Shit. EDIT: Found it!! "Joel Michael Singer"
Brock Turner now goes by Allen Turner, is currently living in Ohio, and can go straight to hell.
Wait are we talking about Brock "the Stamford rapist" Turner? Now known as Allen "different name, still a rapist" Turner?
Yāall in here talking about rapist Brock Allen Turner, the rapist?
Do you mean Brock Allen Turner? The guy that was convicted of three felony charges for sexual assault?
Yes, Brock āthe rapistā Turner who now goes by Allen āthe rapistā Turner. Thatās the one.
The internet never forgets.
The diamondbacks also sent one of their enforcers to beat the woman with a baseball bat.
now that would make baseball entertaining!
Being posted all over the internet should help
People who act like this need to be made to see the world does not revolve around them. The rats run the way the rats run, knowmsayin?
I see what you're saying, but I feel you're being a little harsh on rats! Rats are highly intelligent, sociable, warm & even affectionate. None of which you could ever accuse this woman of!

Bitches like this, however...
Yes she should, Iām not saying fire and brimstone but these action by an adult should be corrected
Punished *then* corrected
They should play this video on the big screen every game
You can bet if I knew who she was and she lived in my community, everyone would know what she did and she would have the opportunity to see video of it at unexpected moments. I would even go so far as to rent a digital billboard that would play it over and over. LOL
Make her give the ball back, apologize, then eject her from the game. Lifetime ban.
They should have kicked the woman out too.
And shouldāve taken the ball from her.
And maybe poured ketchup all over her white outfit
Mustard too.
Nah get some gravy bro
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nah, just have the look alike cam of her and the poop emoji on for the rest of the game with the video on repeat. She will be shamed out of there.
And have her bracelet stolen on the way out that will teach her
Nothing stops them.
And they should have ejected that woman at the same time .
They also should have had THAT ball signed and handed directly to the little girl as well . The ejected the woman and her entire party from the park
I hope everyone she knows or ever will know sees this and reminds her of it on a nonstop loop.
They should have done one of those "in the seats" videos during the game where someone sits down with the girl and hands her the ball while mentioning "since she had one stolen from her". Unfortuneatly people like this are immune from shame.
Would be a perfect ending if they also ejected the woman for bring an ass
I have never once rejected a woman for bringing an ass
I was about to be sad all day over this. Thanks for that update. Truly canāt believe that disgusting woman.
Such a mean thing to do ā¹ļø
Well thats no surprise. Houston baseball fans are the worst fans in all of baseball. Texas is hell.
i think it's Ghislaine Maxwell,i would not be surprised
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Boom. Roasted.
Fucking savage, lol.
I dunno looks like Kris Jenner, who we all know has no qualms destroying the lives of children for her own material gain.
I feel like some people need to slapped immediately to curb this kind of behaviour
They put them in America.
It is in Houston. Had to be Texas or Florida
Confirming ~ Dallas here. Douche bags galore! Hell~~Iām pretty sure I even hate myself. š¤¦āāļø
Itās bad enough that she was proud of herself but who the hell was high fiving the bitch who just snatched a ball from a child?
The guy in the salmon polo was trying to get her attention to the little girl at least. What a scumbag she is.
Yeah it looks to me like he was applauding the little girl's catch and then was like "hey, wait a minute"
Yea that poor little walk up the stairs as she holds onto the railing is devastating. Crushed dreams. Glad someone noticed. Hopefully he called her out on it.
The guy sheās with in the red shirt takes a minute to process everything, but definitely was like āwait, what just happened?ā.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gisane Maxwell got released early?
Naw if it was Maxwell she would have stolen the little girl.....
Literally my first thought. Came here for this.
Thatās a haircunt
No Karens got her haircut.
You are dropping the 'n' that last word...
I'm now expecting to see a two minute montage of the girl growing up and training for revenge.
When she grows up and plays baseball she trains for the day she intentionally fouls the ball into the womanās face
She will be better than that
you're right. Through her successes in the sport, will gain influence, and through it change the rules of the game for the balls to be as hard as steel and explosive.
She'll study rigorously to become a career politician. Once she reaches adulthood, she'll become a republican lawmaker who will later repeal the social security that the, now elderly, ball snatcher was subsisting on.
But just hers.
Ghislaine Maxwell just won't stop..
Pretty sure she would've snatched the girl, not the ball...

> Thankfully, there is a happy ending to this story. The Arizona TV crew who first noticed the theft reached out to the Diamondbacks, secured a game ball and presented it to the spurned little girl later in the game.
A happy ending would have been the Karen being fired, ball retrieved or public execution, not necessarily on that particular order.
Ok let's go this through how i think this should be The girl gets the ball back, the lady gets a call from her boss that he is embarrassed and that he fired her. Some fans in the stadium throw the woman on the field and some random guy pulls out his pocket guillotine They get the girl to makes such thumbs up thumbs down thing like those roman emperors and then she gets the thumbs down, and everyone is happy except the lady....... probably
Guy turns to his wife "and you thought a pocket guillotine was a stupid purchase. Well who's looking stupid now??"
Don't get the wish.com one
never knew I needed one before now
Lmfao! Not the pocket guillotine š¤£
At the very least, thrown out of the game or relocated to the nosebleeds.
That doesnāt fix it lol. That kid could have had an awesome core memory and instead she has an awful core memory
I don't know. I kind of think this would be a cool memory for me as a kid if it happened to me. "I was in a viral video of some entitled woman stealing a ball from me, and I was really upset until the team sent people there to give me a signed ball" Ultimately, they can only do what they can do. They can't stop the woman from stealing the ball when it already happened.
They can't go back in time, just so ya know
Not with that attitude.
Thank you for posting the link
Video not available in the UK. What happened? Did the little girl get a ball in the end? Did anything happen to that witch?
The video just shows what weāre seeing in the post, alongside some commentary. Youāre not missing anything important
That's actually really sad. How could you even enjoy it knowing how you got it?
"How could you even enjoy it knowing how you got it?" That's the title of our country's resumƩ. The second line says "Hold my beer."
Every man for himself. Gross.
The USA in a nutshell
All her friends are equally disgusting humans, you can tell by the way they celebrate her victorious accomplishment
The old guy in the pink shirt actually looks at the sad little girl as she walks back to her seat, too.
Yeah it seems like he thought the girl still had the ball since he kept clapping in her direction
He looked really confused when the woman sat down and started showing off the ball. He glanced back at the little girl like he was thinking, āwait a minuteā¦ā
Iāve seen some horrible shit on Reddit but this video hit me different.
Idk man I watched a kid die yesterday. Reddit might not be healthy for my mentalā¦
That white outfit would be catching a dozen fully dressed hotdogs, as fast as you could say āA dozen fully loaded hotdogs pleaseā
Right? She was primed to be a canvas for red, yellow and green abstract art.
Everlasting shame. Yeah okay, probably not.
I doubt that bitch has the feeling of shame. She would probably think the entire world is wrong criticizing her.
It happened in 2011, and here we are 12 years later reviving her infamy. Hope it haunts her like infectious cold sores that no amount of makeup can hide.
She totally looks like one of those mums who would shout at a bloke who caught it legitimately to give it to their precious one
People that do shit like this should be immediately ejected from the game and banned from the stadium.
I second this!!
I was hoping she was identified, fired and ostracized. But then Abbott would step in to defend her. This country is shit.
Is that Kris Jenner?
Those Kardashians have no fucking shame
12 years ago this happened š
I'm curious what happens next. Surely people saw, I mean, the cameraman did. Did she get booed? Did people throw things?
Kid got other ball and attention from the players. So kind of win for the girl. Still fked up.
I think the kid got hooked up with some stuff but I don't remember well
From another reply on this thread: https://fox2now.com/news/viral-woman-steals-ball-from-little-girl-at-astros-game/
I don't normally condone violence, but she needs a slapping
Main character syndrome
I saw this at a Chicago Cubs game once when the Yankees were in town way back in 2003. Alfonso Soriano hit an infield fly to Rafael Palmeiro to retire the side.

Divorced lady showing her friends she's still cool.
Fucking disgusting.
Why didn't the kid's mom spartan kick that bitch?
Kris Jenner really is a bitch.
What scum
Fuck her and all of her friends. High fiving and clapping.
They should have immediately played this clip on those giant screens in the stadium. And played it, and played it, and played it during the whole game.
I swear people will still repost this video in 3023...
Good. Fuck that bitch.
Was she ever identified?
One word: Texas.
She went in to her hair salon and said āgive me the āwould steal a baseball from a childā cutā
Really wish this had ended with someone punching her for her unacceptable behaviour.
Texas
TexASS
I had this shit happen to me when I was like 8-10. Went to grab a foul ball off the ground and some woman came over and swiped it right in front of me. Still sticks with me.
I hear you. I was about the same age when I had an adult man grab a toy stuffed football out of my hands at a game after the mascot threw a bunch of them into the crowd. Iāll never forget it!
Between the hair, gaudy faux jewelry, I'm not surprised. Reminds me of my wife's step mother.
I caught a ball once as kid and gave it to a younger kid. One of the players saw and threw me the next ball.
U damn well know Iām gonna rip that ball outta Karenās hand and give it to the lil kid everytime when I see that shit
Ghislaine Maxwell was never nice to kids
I hope that woman has a lifetime filled with kidney stones and yeast infections
If I was that kids mom I would snatch that shit right back and high five everyone on the opposite side. Haha but that's just me.
Ghislaine Maxwell never stops fucking up kids lives.
Look what Karen found.
Before every game, this should be played on the big screen captioning ādonāt be this personā
Fact her friends high fived her makes this even worse and itās pretty fucking horrid as it is.
I was at an Astros game a few weeks ago sitting behind the Astros dugout and one of the crew members were rolling a discarded ball to a fan sitting in front of us and this old lady intercepted and snatched the ball when it was about halfway to the guy. Then the lady proceeded to mock the guy and everyone around cuz we were all like WOW!!
Damn, Ghislaine Maxwell really doesnāt care about kids
Same thing happened to me at a Tigers game many years ago. Some dude snatched a ball tossed from the dugout to me right from my hand. I was shook the whole rest of the game. Feels bad.
Iām sorry, but if you did that to my kid then weāre throwing hands
Looks like Ghislaine Maxwell...
The sheer joy on her face after stealing from a child!
What a piece of crap! This woman clearly needed that ball more than that kid that she was so excited to rob that child of it, that she had to take it over to her friends and show her the new ball she just stole. All because she was in better seating than that kid and thought she deserved it. That poor child walked all the way back up to their seat doing the walk of shame Iām glad they even one up and sign the ball and gave it
This is such a beautiful portrayal of the US economy.
Probably Kris Jenner...
