Finally, we were treated to a show of class from a fan at last night’s game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Milwaukee Brewers.  And the best part of all is that the classy fan was actually a young kid.

As the Brewers trotted off the field at the end of the third inning, Rickie Weeks tossed a ball to a couple of kids in the stands.  Young Nicolas was the intended recipient, but he couldn’t hang on to the initial toss.  And when someone below the railing tossed the ball back up to the group of kids, it was the older Ian who got his hands on it.  However, as he raced back to show off his souvenir to his dad and friends, he noticed that Nicolas was left sitting at his seat with a sad look on his face.  This didn’t sit well with Ian, who proceeded to return the ball back to Nicolas in an act of good faith.

And for those of you who believe in karma, you probably wont be surprised to hear that Ian was later awarded with a trip to the Diamondbacks’ press box, where he received a signed contract from Mark Grace (which comes with four tickets to a game, we believe) as well as an autographed Justin Upton bat.

A signed contract and an autographed Justin Upton bat for a plain baseball?  I’d take that trade any day of the week. But in this case, it was well deserved.  Classy move Ian.  Your parents should be proud.

Brewers fans are great people dedicated to their team and we hold nothing against them.  But recently when they took on the rival Chicago Cubs, a bunch of Brewers fans that were tailgating, drinking beer, eating and drinking more beer, wanted to have a little fun with rival Cubs fans.

So the Brewers fan wearing the Rickie Weeks jersey decided to wish a few Cubs fan a little luck by shaking their hands as they walked to Miller Park.  But before he shook their hands he stuck his hand in his pants and played with his “Louisville Slugger and Balls”.

Sure his hand probably wasn’t to fresh after that either, but it’s small price to pay for smiting one’s enemies.
