Slick move, kid!
A sly boy handed over a foul ball he caught at a Texas Rangers game to a pretty girl sitting behind him and the adorable handover was caught on camera.
Ten-year-old Austin Chaney was at Saturday’s home game against the Toronto Blue Jays when he was filmed catching a foul ball that was tossed to him by the Blue Jays’ third-base coach Luis Rivera.
That’s when the kid turned around and gave another ball he was holding in his hand to the blond girl sitting behind him.
The girl and her two friends promptly “aw”-ed at him, in a “How sweet” moment.
It initially looked like he tried to pull a switcheroo on the girl by handing over a decoy ball, but it turns out that Austin was lucky enough to get more than one foul ball during the game.
“We were getting a few foul balls, but mainly it was foul balls the third base coach caught and tossed them up,” Austin told WFAA in Dallas.
“I was told if I got another ball, I should give it to someone else, so I turned around … I thought I was going to give it to someone deep down there, and I saw her right in front of me and I gave it to her.”
A video of the adorable act was posted to YouTube by the MLB and already has more than 700,000 views.
