The Mariners and White Sox were in the midst of an incredible game that had been scoreless until the 14th (!!!) inning.
It was during that 14th inning when things got exciting on the field, and embarrassing off it.

The image above is the reaction of a grown man running over a child in the outfield after the Mariners’ Kyle Seager hit a grand slam.
Hold that thought.
Seager’s homer brought Seattle even with the Sox 5-5 (yeah, Chicago scored five runs in the top of the inning). Chicago went on to score two runs in the 16th and won 7-5.
Back to the clown in the outfield. What type of priorities do you have when trucking a toddler over for a baseball becomes an OK thing to do? Not a single shred of self-awareness was had that day, my friends.
Sure, there is euphoria after a home run is hit. The excitement following a grand slam is surely greater. Neither emotion should ever be great enough to compel you sack a child like you’re Clay Matthews.
