After the Jays’ Luis Rivera tossed the kid a foul ball, the youngster quickly turned around and offered it to a woman sitting behind him — at least that’s what it _looked_ like to those sitting nearby. As seen on the replay, the little dude actually kept the game ball in his glove the whole time, using an extra ball he had on hand for his supposedly chivalrous gift. Watch out, girls — this guy is going to grow up and break some hearts. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/104056/baseball-foul-ball-kid/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/104056/baseball-foul-ball-kid/"},"headline":"World's Slickest Kid Pulls Baseball Switcheroo on Nice Young Lady","datePublished":"2014-05-18T17:18:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:45.341Z","description":"Don't hate the player, hate the game","url":"https://time.com/104056/baseball-foul-ball-kid/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Baseball","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/104056/baseball-foul-ball-kid/","name":"World's Slickest Kid Pulls Baseball Switcheroo on Nice Young Lady"}}]}] ```
