Major League Baseball is kicking off in Australia this year for some reason, and a little fan there for a game between the Dodgers and Team Australia really, really wanted a baseball.

It started when a player tried to toss a spare baseball to the kid in the crowd, but the ball didn’t quite have enough on it. The kid instantly starts freaking out a bit. That ball was for HIM.

Next, an attendant goes and grabs the ball, but he wasn’t aware who the ball was initially for. So he gives it to another kid. AND A TOTAL MELTDOWN COMMENCES.

Luckily for the kid, the female fans next to him recognized the original ball was meant for him and more-or-less ordered the other kid to give him a ball.

Frankly, I don’t know if that behavior should be rewarded. Yeah tantrum kid, the ball was meant for you. But someone else got it fair and square. No need to lose your mind.

Good on the second kid for being a good sport, though. I would have bolted.
