I can't believe the tone of at least half these posts! Must be tough being so cynical.

Wonderful moment caught on camera.

Staged.
Amen. I bet the parent told him to do it.

The parent wasn’t with him when he got the ball. You have to get up and run for it as soon as it hit there’s no time for discussion first. You guys need to take your tinfoil hats off I mean really it’s absurd to think that this could be staged. I guess as the kid leaped up and ran for the ball dad was shouting “Find a black kid to give it to!!”, right, LOL? Good grief.

LOL.. did you watch the video?? the kid that retrieved and gave away the ball was black or chocolate color. The other kid who was too slow to retrieve the ball was white or vanilla color.

Because you rarely see things like this. Sad but true.

Chasing fly balls at teh stadium is fun, every thing does not have to be a death match contest

OK then simply reverse the characters in my line about it. It’s not relevant to my point which child was which race.

Other possibilities:

Maybe this was the payoff for a bet? Or maybe reciprocating some other action? Ask the kids.
