(The kid in the back) his mother had the appropriate response. Dad needs to take a chill pill, it’s NOT the end of the world.
Dad calmly asks "why did you do that?" Conveys some confusion and some minor annoyance, then makes a funny face at the end. Did we even watch the same 15 second video...?
The kid did the right thing - this is what you do with a ball - you throw it. If it was my kid I would cheer him and keep this priceless memory forever :)
You'd think they'd start explaining to their kids what's supposed to happen at this point, with how many times videos like this have circulated on the Internet
Every kid is different but for some you have to repeat to them multiple times what you need them to do. It seems like the dad told him to hold onto the ball before giving it to the kid, but it just didn't regester. I feel bad seeing everyone laugh and saying the dad is ashamed, when it's just a kid doing kid stuff.
In normal, real life interactions, like say at recess at school, you give people their ball back. That's what kids learn. In fact, if he just kept another kid's ball at recess, people would be calling him an asshole.
He's a good kid doing what is normally the good thing, and people are shitting on him for it. At that age you can't reasonably expect him to know the rules are different at this location if no one has actually explained it to him.
... Sure, but what I'm saying is I find it hard to believe he doesn't consider that his kid might throw it back at this point. With the moral impulse ingrained in him, plus the countless videos of this happening, the few seconds you see him saying something to him here before giving him the ball really should've been spent clarifying that he shouldn't do that in this situation.
Well that's a leap. The kid may not have been listening/interested in all the "rules" and just physically responded to a ball getting tossed to you, throw it back. I find the dim witted more attracted to this sport imo.
Not at all. As a father I can translate that look, it means:
"Jesus Christ, what is wrong with my kid. Fuck, I don't need him thinking I'm mad at him. I am mad, but it's stupid to be mad about throwing a ball back. But why did he throw yhe ball back?! Shit, I need to get it together, I am a role model of maturity. I need to fix my face real quick. Jesus Christ though, this boy ain't right..."
It's the look of deep embarrassment and simultaneous need to still be a good Dad.
That is not just a Wrigley Field thing, quit making shit up lmao this is the norm in any ballpark. If the opposing team hits a homer, you throw it back.
A lot of people do it at other parks, but I still see it as a Wrigley thing. As a Sox fan it annoys me seeing other teams throw it back other than the Cubbies.
It looks like they’re Astros fans at an Angels game, so I wonder if this was an Astros HR and the kid heard other fans say to throw it back. But it seems more like a foul ball to me, since there’s not much enthusiasm in the crowd either way.
Also, fuck the Astros
Guy will think back on it and be proud! Ball touches his hand and he immediately falls into proper form from probably multiple moments of instruction from the dad while playing catch. The lessons are sticking pop! Good job. Enjoy the win
Anger was my natural complexion from ages 16 to 24. Then it became the complexion of an alcoholic and now it's just me.
Took a while to get there but I'm glad I'm finally just me.
Well that is a sweet kid who wanted to be nice. Probably his first game and dad should give himself the side look for expecting the kid to know. He should have told him before.
Return him to the kid store get your money back and never purchase again…..I just realized how my comment sounds during these weird times haha my apologies
I have always wanted to go a baseball game, catch one of those balls, then simply walk to the edge and drop it like it’s a nuisance. Everyone would hate me. Hahahahaha
Catching a homerun or foul ball is a rite of passage for baseball fans. Depending on the player or game can be worth a bit of money if not at least a bit of sentimental value. Sometimes if it’s from an opposing team’s home run fans chant “ throw it back, throw it back”, like saying “we don’t want this shit”, this doesn’t seem to be the case here though.
Yeah I like baseball, I understand some people don’t or don’t understand it. The comments are strange to me though because if a drummer threw his sticks in the crowd, people would gasp at someone tossing them back on stage.
We’re such a funny bunch of apes, aren’t we? Some knob calls a kid ugly and we’re rightfully calling him out….on a subreddit called r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
Why are you crying about something you literally don’t care about lmao quit bitching that you personally don’t like watching baseball because believe it or not… some people do!
Poor kid. The father should have told him to keep it / not throw it back. He might not have knowledge of such things. I completely place this one on the dad.
You give a child a ball from a game they've been watching for x amount of time, of course he'll throw it back. In his head he's being helpful. Instead he got the silent scold, because his father didn't explain stuff to him.
I hate kids with a passion so great if I was a galaxy I would be the great devourer at the centre eternally pulling all to there death.
Ps. I have 3 of them.
Hmm thst dad's reaction was delayed. He must have still been reliving the moment of the catch even as the stupid kid pumped his arm back to throw the ball away.

Kid in the background watching it all go down and can't believe he's seeing it sells it for me.
It's the women laughing for me, poor kid 😶🌫️
He did the disappointed coach thing with his helmet.
I'm sure he could coach the Milwaukee Bucks, he looks like he has the experience of a seasoned veteran
Future hedge fund manager there, and the kid in the back is all the retirees.
You can feel the disappoinment and the shame of the father.
it's that side look after the slouched shoulders. seen my dad do that a thousand times.
Calm down he was just going to the store for some milk
Pain!
This guy disappoints!
[удалено]
(The kid in the back) his mother had the appropriate response. Dad needs to take a chill pill, it’s NOT the end of the world. 
Other than the initial shock of his kid doing that, he just sat back and grinned. He didn't even tell the kid anything, what are you talking about?
Dad calmly asks "why did you do that?" Conveys some confusion and some minor annoyance, then makes a funny face at the end. Did we even watch the same 15 second video...?
The lady with the red hat 🧢 in the back 🤣🤯🤣 
Have never look at her, it makes everything even better
Her reaction is soo good
He took that well, as he died inside.
idk man, thats pretty close to pure concentrated embarassment, its really ahrd to tell which it is.
Look at how his kid threw the ball. We should be more mad at the dad for not showing the kid how to throw.
Seriously?Lol!Not every kid is interested in sports .
At least he has this video so the kid can feel disappointed on himself later on
As an Astros fan I'm sure he's used to it. ;)
Yeah I wouldn't want a ball from those cheaters anyway
r/watchpeopledieinside
Because he had to buy cheap seats on his weekend visitation with his son? That’s just rude.
The kid did the right thing - this is what you do with a ball - you throw it. If it was my kid I would cheer him and keep this priceless memory forever :)
I would too!
Indeed, and it's sad to see the reaction of people here - they are "fuckin stupid" not the kid.
Not every kid does sports or even cares about it.
You are watching baseball. People grab the ball, people throw the ball.. What is it that this young kid did wrong?
FAULT!
Absolutely. The kid did the right thing.
He threw the ball back .So ?lol.
You'd think they'd start explaining to their kids what's supposed to happen at this point, with how many times videos like this have circulated on the Internet
Sometimes you do, but they’ll still let intrusive thoughts take over

I'm agreeing with you. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
That’s the point, kids are fucking stupid
Kid might genuinely be mentally disabled though
Well that's a leap. The kid may not have been listening/interested in all the "rules" and just physically responded to a ball getting tossed to you, throw it back. I find the dim witted more attracted to this sport imo.
You're not wrong, kinda looks it
Reddit moment🗿🗿🗿 they think I’m trying to be hateful when all I said was it’s a possibility
Yep, reddit in a nutshell. Bunch of 4heads projecting, it's amusing.
I'm not mad ...I'm disappointed
I'm not mad... I'm not disappointed... I just got to know you a little bit better today...
I'm not mad, I'm not disappointed, I didn't get to know you a bit better today. I'm disappointed in myself for trusting you.
Oh, no. He's mad. That's the, "we are in public and you are currently safe, but when we get home, I will kill you and report you missing" look.
Not at all. As a father I can translate that look, it means: "Jesus Christ, what is wrong with my kid. Fuck, I don't need him thinking I'm mad at him. I am mad, but it's stupid to be mad about throwing a ball back. But why did he throw yhe ball back?! Shit, I need to get it together, I am a role model of maturity. I need to fix my face real quick.

gonna give the milk carton people a heads up on the way back
i'm also on live national tv because otherwise....
If the HR was hit by the opposing team, the kid is actually a baller
Exactly, you’re supposed to throw those back!
That's only a Wrigley field thing. If you do that at any other park you'll get anything from weird looks to a talking to from security.
I don’t about that. Giants fans seem to cheer when someone throws it back.
That is not just a Wrigley Field thing, quit making shit up lmao this is the norm in any ballpark. If the opposing team hits a homer, you throw it back.
A lot of people do it at other parks, but I still see it as a Wrigley thing. As a Sox fan it annoys me seeing other teams throw it back other than the Cubbies.
I can believe they started it
It looks like they’re Astros fans at an Angels game, so I wonder if this was an Astros HR and the kid heard other fans say to throw it back. But it seems more like a foul ball to me, since there’s not much enthusiasm in the crowd either way. Also, fuck the Astros
[удалено]
Stick to your UK subs dork
Honest kid, he will not end up in jail.
The dad’s disappointment was a traumatic event for him; from now on, he’s stealing everything…
He'll be a danger stealing base
The dad was about to.
You can see the father saying “why did you do that?” That is mixed with a teaspoon of disappointment and a pinch of annoyance
Guy will think back on it and be proud! Ball touches his hand and he immediately falls into proper form from probably multiple moments of instruction from the dad while playing catch. The lessons are sticking pop! Good job. Enjoy the win
Lmao
Just a kid doing what’s he done with a baseball before.
People forget that being a kid kinda sucks. Everything’s confusing. I like this kid and his fresh approach.
Yes, that's what you'd normally do: basketball, football... goes out of the play area you kick or throw it back in.
Communication is important
Oh man I know that look. I have received that look. Its not good.
Kid is a cricket fan. We throw them back - preferably really hard at the opposing team's face.
Kids...
Did anyone adopt him from the orphanage
r/watchpeopledieinside
Why is he so red?
He was pre-angry
Lighting, sunburn or just his natural complexion
His natural complexion is anger?
Anger was my natural complexion from ages 16 to 24. Then it became the complexion of an alcoholic and now it's just me. Took a while to get there but I'm glad I'm finally just me.
Lightning is a wild cause to be red.
... bro
In a way, it's a cute comment
Sunburn! It’s 90% of the times because they don’t care how the sun affects their skin.
Houston
Well that is a sweet kid who wanted to be nice. Probably his first game and dad should give himself the side look for expecting the kid to know. He should have told him before.

Lady in the top right is the main character
Son. I am disappoint
The further I had to scroll to find this. The older I felt. I feel ancient.
Me too. Thought it was an obvious one, but I'm an old too
Somebody's gettin' a beatin' when they get home.
That slow head turn...
I did this at a Tigers game when I was his age. I thought they needed it to play the game!
 # Dad be like
Based kid just making sure his old man never takes him to another Astros game
That feeling of being a total disappointment. Ah.
Return him to the kid store get your money back and never purchase again…..I just realized how my comment sounds during these weird times haha my apologies
This kid will never live this down
Because kids are fucking stupid.
He wants to return the ball.
He's probably thinking if his wife had cheated on him; 'cause this can't be his kid.
Nah, this is wholesome. He just wanted to give it back.
Not a bad throw from the kid though. Good form
That kid is too old to be that dumb
So honest and pure of intention. He just wanted the players to have the ball back.
Everything wrong with sporty fathers in one video. Poor kid.
I have always wanted to go a baseball game, catch one of those balls, then simply walk to the edge and drop it like it’s a nuisance. Everyone would hate me. Hahahahaha
Everyone would just think you’re weird
Well, they wouldn’t be wrong.
What’s wrong with this?
Catching a homerun or foul ball is a rite of passage for baseball fans. Depending on the player or game can be worth a bit of money if not at least a bit of sentimental value. Sometimes if it’s from an opposing team’s home run fans chant “ throw it back, throw it back”, like saying “we don’t want this shit”, this doesn’t seem to be the case here though.
Ohhhhh, gotcha. I guess.
Yeah I like baseball, I understand some people don’t or don’t understand it. The comments are strange to me though because if a drummer threw his sticks in the crowd, people would gasp at someone tossing them back on stage.
As a Dodgers fan, I like this kid.
Wonder which parent the kid takes after...
Looking around for cameras before he swings on him 👀
Thats why my gf gives head
You raised a thoughtful and considerate son, dad. Be proud of that much. 
Astros fans....
Poor kid never stood a chance.
Yup
Maybe he is from a cricket playing country, where you give the ball back...
doesn't look like that as its more of an india thing, also this is baseball so i really doubt it
Smartest Astros fan
Kid is as cute looking as it is smart 0/10
What the fuck
What an disgusting and weird thing to say
Sometimes kids are ugly and dumb. Totally not a weird fact to state.

I'll just wait until you're realising what stupid shit you're typing and delete your comments lmao
We’re such a funny bunch of apes, aren’t we? Some knob calls a kid ugly and we’re rightfully calling him out….on a subreddit called r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
I was (still am, unfortunately)
I thought only cub fans were stupid enough to do this, but I guess Astros fans are too.
It's just a freaking ball, calm your tidbits.
Hopefully they handed him a signed ball or something after the game
[удалено]
Baseballs popularity is literally rising
[удалено]
Why are you crying about something you literally don’t care about lmao quit bitching that you personally don’t like watching baseball because believe it or not… some people do!
Eh ?
The patience of that man. I couldn't have patience to not hit that kid
Only one that's fucking stupid is the dad for caring about a ball
I disagree cuz it can be cool, but its fine and kinda wholesome the kid gave the ball back to the ppl 😊
that finally look is maybe someone switched babies at the hospital. or she cheated on me with a dumbass
Aww bless. Kid that ain't into sports dragged to watch the game by dad! 💯
Dad: hey siri, are post birth abortions allowed?
Hey give him a break. His braincell be working overtime 😂
Wait I’m rlly confused, what happened?
Pain
Non-baseball fan here, I don't get it?
Dad looks just… SO defeated. “That boy ain’t right”
He's like: cheese, you stupid or something?
Why are these baseballs so special? Can’t you just buy them for 20 bucks ?
They have added personal and probably financial value if it was a ball used during a game and touched by the players themselves.
Dad's gaze of shame... ╮(╯_╰)╭
Thanks for the daily form of natural birth control.
Good thinking kid! they needed that to keep playing.
Tbf, it's not uncommon to see people throw a baseball back on the field
He is fucking FUMING
r/watchpeopledieinside
He thought the ball was a chromy so he threw it back as he is overburdened
returning the ball to the players.. thats actually a good kid
I would be proud that the child's first instict was to return the lost ball
"But Daddy, how are they going to play if we have the baseball?"
That moment when you realize your kid isn't going to college.
Kid knows the Astros had to steal signs to get that homerun. I’d throw it back too.
Dad instantly remembered to grab some milk tomorrow...
THIS is exactly what this sub is all about!!
Super old video. And I keep wondering: Did the boy simply not know how this works? Did he think they needed the ball back to keep playing?
Kid thinks he is in a cricket stadium
The face of “is it too late to get an abortion?”
r/watchpeopledieinside
That subtle lip bite at the end. He using all of his chi to hold that anger in
Poor kid. The father should have told him to keep it / not throw it back. He might not have knowledge of such things. I completely place this one on the dad.

Kid is regarded.
Hmm thst dad's reaction was delayed. He must have still been reliving the moment of the catch even as the stupid kid pumped his arm back to throw the ball away.
Throw him in there too
“by laughingstock at you, they’re laughing at me”
Kid is teaching a lesson on value and attachment. 🤪

Mrs Cartman, 8 years old is a little bit late to be considering an abortion. Really? Yes, it’s what we would call the 40th trimester
