    At least he got the ball. Many people don't get a foul ball their entire life.

    Glad he's okay and got the ball .... but Mookie doesn't need to do anything, he probably will because he's a nice guy, but he doesn't owe them anything.

    There’s no crying in baseball.

    Sandlot “Keep your eye on the ball” 🤣
  • @gabef1503
    Should have kept his eye on the ball especially sitting close to those foul balls. Lesson learned. Hope he recovers fast.
  • I’m glad he’s OK but that’s part of the risk of going to a baseball game. Mookie and the Dodgers in my opinion do not need to do anything.
  • @ericcarson342
    At least he gets to go to games regularly. Not too many families can say that. But like Tom Hanks says, no crying in baseball. Keep your glove up my man.

    Maybe if they hadn't bought the kid a toddlers glove hed of had a chance 🤦‍♂️

    When did fans start looking for payouts at the game? It's really pathetic and low class. Thank goodness it wasn't Shohei's foul ball cause then they'd be full of rage for that check.
  • What a handsome, strong young man. He was standing up to catch it! Bless his whole family, that he's all right.
  • @JohnSmith-nj4zq
    It's a good thing it was only a Mookie foul ball, if it was a Shohei one the kid would be staying in a hospital.

    When I was eight years old, I was so scared of getting hit by a foul ball. I would get behind the seats.

    What a joke , the team doesn’t owe them anything
  • @iMetaTV
    The the parents need to buy him a glove next time that's their fault
