What would you suggest that he should have done?

Yelled at her to get the fuck out of his face.
Maybe not so colorful, but stand your ground, don't cower like a pussy.

If a kid wasn't involved, I might see it differently.

Escalating a potential altercation, especially with a woman, in front of your child over something as trivial as a baseball, wouldn't be my go-to. Unless she grabbed the kid, that is.

The better play was to just step between and tell her, no.

Don't escalete it...let her be the one to go off...as soon as security would have noticed her she'd have been gone.

I love going to the ballpark but FFS it's a baseball...let the darn kid have it.

Does anyone these days ever think about descalting a situation or is everyone's go to right to fight?

Fight is you "have" to but not as a first option.

And that's what I initially said.

I would just like to point out, there is a boatload of difference between..

and just stepping between and calmly but firmly saying "No"

You're taking me too literally.

The kid ended up with a big bag of goodies and a signed bat. Can we all agree that worked out better than getting to keep the ball?

She was just living up to the stereotype.

[Newbeeee™]

My 10 bucks says there was absolutely no way she was backing down. The other vid i saw (i think i posted) from another angle, was her confronting a guy who heckled her, then she just flipped off the whole stadium.
So she already was hands on, the kid looked like he was shitting himself in one vid, and if Dad did confront her and shouted, i have no doubt she'd have been hands on and windmilling him like a banshee.
She certainly appears to be an unhinged psycho.
And Dad would have been the one coming off worse with the cops.

Marcus is a good dude. Originally from Lebanon I believe.
He said that one of the companies that he's reviving won't be coming to Cali. (Bed, Bath and Beyond)
