Major League Baseball is in full swing and so far we’ve gotten off to a great start when it comes to highlights. Among the best ones are the 2 home runs Madison Bumgarner blasted on opening day and refusal to give the bats he used to the Hall of Fame. The other one was Adam Wainwright making what could be considered the worst pitch in the history of the game. But if I had to pick one highlight that shines above the rest, it’s this umpire at a Houston Astros game.
Once in a while you’ll see a MLB Umpire have fun on the field but rarely do they interact with fans. Sometimes we get to see security guards put on dances. And once in a while we’ll see someone get onto the field and do something crazy. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen an umpire completely mess with an innocent child before.
After the Astros outfielder Josh Reddick was done giving a baseball to this lucky fan this umpire (who looks a ton like Al Roker) decided to mess with the kid by asking for the ball back. Of course he winds up giving the kid the ball but not before having a little fun first.
