18 year-olds are playing Division 1 College Sports all over this country, and many are competing on a high level.

I've run into plenty of 18 year olds I would not want to get into a fist fight with because I would most assuredly lose.

Not sure if the guy doing the strong-arming for the lottery ticket randomly thrown into the crowd was supposed to check birth certificates before diving under bleacher seats for a ball.

I to have seen adults act like an ass at Minor League games chasing a worthless ball, although most will just turn around and hand it to the nearest kid anyways.

You can bet though, if that ball had a bank account number on it, which unlocked a key to a 7 figure payday, those adults wouldn't be so quick to hand the ball over to the nearest doe eyed kid they could find.

Maybe I was the only one thinking this throughout the course of this thread...or I'm the only one to admit it.
I'm gonna have to kinda agree with this. None of the videos I saw showed that the 18 year old ever even had a hand on the ball. For all we know the guy who ended up with the ball had it the whole time. People are acting like he straight up stole it from a 9 year old. To call this battery seems extreme, but if there is a video I'm missing please post it
