0:30 The little kid asks, "Is this ball for me?" AWWW

[chewy]

And that is why he is sat with the Ladies

[kwilesjrnews]

Everyone is focused on the girls this kid is sitting with, nobody notices the guy in the white shirt behind him first gesture to the ball girl pointing out the little kid, and then telling to the kid that got the ball....Still a nice thing for this kid to do

[Aqwtiny]

Lol the look of his date when he got that ball

[fluffyassassin]

Everyone is saying how nice of a kid he is, but we all know his dad told him too

[hardrock]

It's funny how these kinds of videos have more views than actual baseball videos.

[DivineAtheistWannabe]

To summarise:

1. His dad behind him told him to do it

2. That's likely his sister beside him

3. He might know the girl on the field personally

4. The kid said "is this for me?"

0:25 AWW "Is that ball for me?"

[Xerract]

Feels good to watch this after the video of woman stealing ball from kid

[wlee]

Sportsmanship its not just for the players on the field but the fans in the stands too. Good job kid.

[rejithretnan]

0:18 he failed to see another young child looking at him with hope 😭

[paveladamek]

Her look: "Are you seriously keeping the ball she gave you?"
His mind: (the tune from Jaws is playing, as he senses being eaten alive)
He: goes to give the ball to the adorable boy

[simonbutler]

What a guy. You will do well in life sir.

[Twobee-sfml]

Well done that young man, made that little fan a night to remember.

[piachatz]

this teenage boy has more compassion than many.

[damonkennysr.]

That’s what America is all about. Bless that man

[geraldcullen]

He thinks he just gave him a game ball but he gave him and his parents one of those memories that stay with you for life incredible

[jom-h]

He probably made everyone's night! The mother's look was so full of gratefulness and amazement that somebody tought to give such a night gift to her child, that would seal this into his memory forever!

That’s a well mannered and generous young man.

[overthetip]

Don't worry, he got something else that night!
