Yeah, the last time a kid beaned a player from the stands he got offered a contract to pitch for the Cubs and his mom got laid. This one did not have the happy outcome.
I was at this game, Section 206. This game was utterly insane. There was a brawl that happened in Section 205 that was uploaded on youtube the day after the game.
What a weird scenario, crowds like "THROW IT BACK, THROW IT BACK!" Kid surcomes to peer pressure, throws it back, accidentally hits guy, crowds like "IT WAS HIM! IT WAS THIS GUY!"
@@Tre16 yeah yeah but if you’re the crowd surrounding him at least have a spine and hide him or something don’t just peer pressure him then toss him under the bus lol
I feel a little bad. Probably just a momentary lapse in judgement and a lifetime punishment. But then again, this is how consequences for actions work outside of stadiums as well.
@@ExtremeSquared A real-life analogy would be like shoplifting a bag of chips from a 7-11 after a bunch of your buddies dared you to, getting caught, and then getting banned for life from every 7-11 on Earth. It's completely insane to think this ban is in any way reasonable. MLB and every fan who supports their asinine decision has lost their minds.
@@nalgene247 I actually felt bad for the kid. I’m sure his intentions weren’t to hit Verdugo. Seeing him shaking really got to me. I think what if that was my son.
i agree, this punishment is complete bullshit and actually infuriates me a bit not gonna lie.. Its a young kid, he obviously didnt mean to cause any harm. Yes, he should still receive a serious consequence but giving him a life ban just aint it bro wtf
Remember that time Giancarlo Stanton hit a home run to the Monster and a fan threw it back and hit him rounding second and got a hat tip? Fuckin' legend.
The difference is Stanton barely got grazed by it and he was impressed by the throw (which didn't hurt) and Verdugo got drilled in the spine which never feels good
Peter Jackson had a bunch of money spent on some of the best lip readers in the world to figure out what WW1 soldiers were saying in grainy, old footage. Pretty sure they could've had Jomboy knock it out in an hour for a case of beer and a handshake.
Do you really think baseball is gonna end? I thought for sure it would end after the steroid era, I haven't watched since then. Just started binging some Jomboy this weekend though, so idk what's going on in the league.
@@EricJCaraballoso Baseball wont, but the MLB easily could be gone within the decade. Between the terrible umps the political posturing, and having only a handful of competitive teams, its not hard to understand why even die hard baseball fans stop watching.
@@endyoutubecensorship6639 Democrats have gone a long way in encroaching on as many pro sports as possible. That will be the end of MLB if baseball continues to get whipped around.
My guess is he was trying to but didn’t actually expect to hit em. To accidentally hit him from that far is pretty far fetched. Like he has to be throwing it roughly towards him.
Even if it was intentional nothing will happen to him other than getting kicked out of the game from that distance. Hard to say. If he was standing 10 feet in front of him and threw it at him then that's different
Tony G jomboy stated that kid got banned from all MLB parks for life. In a way that sucks if it was unintentional and the guy purely succumbed to peer pressure. But on the other hand the league has to set a precedent to keep the players protected from stuff like that.
@@MidwestSteeze Yeah I agree. I don't feel like that's something they can keep "for life" though. Give this a year to blow over and I'm sure this guy can have someone buy a ticket for him and he can get in. Especially if he's wearing a hat or something next time
The scales of Justice are tipped. If you’re an athlete, movie star, or politician, you get a slap on the wrist. If you’re an everyday Joe, you get the book thrown at you.
I've never caught a ball at a game. Just my luck I would catch one, then the fans would yell throw it back and I would bean a guy in the back of the head because I can't throw.
Yeah, if they really think he hit him on purpose from way up there, then what they really need to be doing is giving him a tryout, not banning him lol. Feel bad for the guy
A ban from every stadium for life, so fucking dumb lol... just this past year the dude who spat on trae young and the dude who poured popcorn on westbrook got comparatively waaaay softer punishments where you KNOW their intentions were rotten. This kid fucks up one throw and can never go to an mlb game ever again hahaha
No pity. Bad luck involved? Maybe, but he threw the ball. People need to be held accountable for their actions, more than ever these days. MLB had to come down hard to set a precedent. If that's me, I'm giving the ball to a Red Sox fan, and if I absolutely HAD to throw it back and I can't throw, I'm getting closer to the wall to do it.
@@dnice9211 Baseball's unwritten rules are a mess, hell even some of the written ones are. Those need to be addressed on their own (and probably never will be). The example you brought up is interesting though, because sometimes it's hard to tell when it's on purpose vs. accidental. The same could be said for fans throwing stuff at players, so they have to take a hard line to eliminate any accidental contact.
@@deezyvsop2 We all appreciate hard justice until we’re the ones out on the spot light. I think you’re right tho, but then again I’m not the one throwing a ball
@@deezyvsop2 The punishment was a little extreme in my opinion. I'd have him banned from games for a few years at most.. then of course if he ever F'd up again then it would be for life. Questionable at best whether the act was intentional, and baseball cannot exactly afford to be tossing away any fans right now with their diminishing popularity.
If he somehow superman jumped up to the upper deck from the field, it wouldn't be the first time a player on a team has attacked a fan. Anyone remember the Pacers-Pistons brawl?
Imagine being banned for life and being roasted on the internet for an accident...and yes I believe the kid. It's more likely that it was an accident than he has laser pinpoint accuracy from 200 feet.
I mean did he or did he not throw the ball back? Once you perform an action, you deal with the repercussions of that action. Is a lifetime ban overboard? Sure. But the fan doesn't have any negotiating power for his mistake because HE threw the ball, simple.
@@michaelbread5906 people in the crowd are generally aware of a ball being thrown gently their way. A player looking the other way when a ball is thrown hard at their body is a different situation entirely
absolutely, it would be really difficult to actually even hit him on purpose, and it's not like he was celebrating...they should've chalked it up as an accident
that’s not even possible, who the hell is gonna notice him out of the thousands of fans if he goes to a game, especially if he throws on like a hoodie and wears his face mask
Plot Twist: Desperate to make it back into major league stadiums, the fan devotes his life to baseball, becomes a highly-recruited 5-tool player, gets signed by the Yankees, and goes to the stadium every day as the starting CF.
My thoughts as well. We don’t even know this dude’s name! And Bartman was one of THREE dudes who did the same exact thing as he did. Cubs would have lost the damn game anyways, LBH. #freebartman
Yeah he was an actual kid lmao, he will be removed if he ever attempts to be. I honestly believe he just threw it back because people were saying too and didn’t know how to aim😂. This team is just so extra 😂😂 they didn’t even need to walk off the field for this shit probably didn’t even leave a bruise 😂
Seeing the video now, this whole thing seems like it was blown way out of proportion from what I heard on the radio. They made it sound like the dude in the crowd threw a 90 mph fastball from 50 feet away and smoked Verdugo.
@@Anno023 no way on earth he hit him on purpose from that distance. Do you know how many fans are pressured to throw the ball back on the field ? That could’ve happened to anyone.
Yankees fans was cheering for him to throw the ball back and then they all sell him out when there's problems. Weak! I feel kinda bad for the kid. He didn't do it with malice and he clearly regretted it. If I were him I would write Verdugo and apologize.
They wanted him to throw the ball back in the field not hit a player!!! How is that weak that they pointed him out?? I think you need to rethink your logic in this matter
@@stevepan50 idk seems like he didn't mean to hit the player. I kind of feel for him because it's exactly the type of clumsy thing I'd do to aim nowhere near the player but totally mess up and hit them on accident.
If he didn’t mean to I feel bad for him. If he was peer pressured he probably didn’t want to in the first place and now he can never go to a baseball game again. Idk that’s pretty depressing to me.
Yeah genius, the ball accidentally flew out of his hand towards a player standing completely still on the field. It was a total mistake. You are a sad sign of 2021, publicly showing your pansypity.
the guy was literally shaking when the security guard was going towards him. he obviously didn't mean to do anything. also, Jomboy is way too upset over this. the guy tossed a ball and it accidentally hit the guy. it's not like someone threw a 100mph fastball at the dude's face
Can’t do the time don’t do the crime. If some one told you to jump off a cliff would you? *insert another cliche saying that is relevant to the situation*
In 2019 Stanton was hit by a fan throwing a ball back after he hit a homerun. The media said it was an epic throw and people joked about giving him a contract. The person wasn't even ejected from the game. Imo, it was because Stanton tipped his cap towards the person that threw the ball though he was irked by it. Verdugo made a meal of it.
Would this be the same as if a fan punched a hockey player? Throwing at players in baseball is within the confounds of the game as is fighting in the NHL
Professional MLB team caught in one of the most egregious cheating scandals = slap on the wrist. Fan throws ball and hits player in the ass = made a pariah and banned from all stadiums. Sure glad the MLB has their priorities straight...
Guy hits MLB player with a ball in the butt and probably didn't even raise a welt: Banned for life Entire team cheats their way to a world series win: Nothing.....
2 entire teams boston and Houston both were convicted ...and that weak manager was suspended and brought back...alex Cora is soft never won anything without cheating!....same thing with all astros and Hinch...boston fans seem to be way worse than the yankee fans...just the media portrays us badly and for some reason mlb & media defend the cheating asterisks and b.o. socks to no end
integrity of the game doesn't matter to Manfred...punish fans and Kelly ....asterisks and b.o. sox get babied look at how the umps were coddling verdugo like a dad...no ump has ever done that for my yankees
@@danlamontagne1957 Cora wasn't a manager in Houston, didn't cheat in Boston like they did in Houston, and almost every team, including the Yankees, used and some possibly still do use, the replay room to cheat. Get off your high horse. Boston was incredibly dominant that year and closed out every single postseason series on the road. You gonna say they cheated in other team's ballparks too?
@@danlamontagne1957 Then you should hate the Yankees who have been known to have multiple steroid users and cheat in the same exact ways the Astros and Red Sox did.
You beat the shit out of your wife, you can still make millions playing for a team. You accidentally hit a player and don't hurt him (or just the player's ego), you're banned for life by the whole MLB.
How about this, don't fucking throw things at players. It's the biggest pussy move. It's like throwing a punch then hiding behind your buddy. Ban him for life, idc.
From what I've heard, you might not be able to buy tickets under your own name, but the bans are still hard to actually enforce. The big thing, though, is that if you do get past the ban and get caught doing more shenanigans at the park, you get charged with trespassing.
Baseball players are so soft, guy gets hit with a ball and then cries and quits the game, in South American Football players get hit with flares and keep playing
Dude that kid does not look he could hit a billboard intentionally from that far away let alone a player. Sure he threw it in the direction of the player, but I’d imagine he just as easily threw it in the generally outfield. It’s kinda impressive that it somehow connected at probably 35 mphs so it didn’t phase Verdugo whatsoever.
@@youngburv says what rules, you think that’s the first or 100th time that’s happened in mlb history. Rules based on current societal expectations, 20 years ago Albert Belle would have assumed a bug landed on him and swatted it away. Or a friendly player would have turned around and quoted Biden “c,mon man” but that would have been it.
@@bogeybear6237 ok well its not 20 years ago so thanks for proving my point. you cant just hurl objects at players anymore and then use the excuse "ohhh 20 years ago no one would have cared :(((" doofus
@@youngburv so when a redsox fan hit Stanton with a ball 2 years ago and shrugged it off while laughing. 20 years ago is just meant to akin to a time when the league wasn’t under pressure of cancel culture, the Twitter mob and childless simps like you.
As a Sox fan, and a baseball fan in general, I'm glad that guy got punished for throwing the ball, but getting banned from all 30 ball parks for LIFE? That's too harsh
@@bassguitar15 not really enforceable. The average crowd at a baseball game is 30 to 50,000 so it's easy to blend in and I wouldn't be surprised if several of those at the game are ones who are supposedly banned from the stadium.
I completely agree. Something about that made me feel it was unintentional. His mom was right next to him. I can’t imagine he would purposely do that. It’s just sad all the way around.
@@ryanneyland2997 IDK. I’m torn between whether he has really good aim to actually hit him or really bad aim by hitting him with all that space. All I know is, I have never thrown a ball in my life (that’s not, like, a wiffle ball or something) without a general idea of the area it will land in. Makes me think it was on purpose and his reaction was based on him not considering the consequences before he threw the ball.
@@timothyjensen1429 Consequences, yes, life time ban from all fields, a bit much... especially given the fact that it looks unintentional. I've been hit by things from students in the classroom who meant to do it and they're back in class the next day... seems like an over-reaction by all parties.
What's worse is people are showing 0 empathy for a teenager that had a crowd of adults yelling a him to do something. Everyone is just going straight to "nope fuck you" I doubt he was actually trying to hit him
Overreaction is the New normal. But players and Managers can scream obscene words and use profanity towards umps like crazy at the same time.go figure...
If was an adult, I'd be fine with a lifetime ban. A kid, I'm a lot more willing to say "Look, if you apologize and Verdugo accepts it, we'll make it just a few years instead." I really don't think the kid is any risk to do it again, and that even a few years is enough to make a "Don't do this" example out of him, but that's just me.
@@Boffo97 It was an adult? I don't think so! I'm 41, I'm pretty sure; He had the body language of a teenager and he was so scared of the whole situation, the kid is shaking like a leaf: it doesn't change the fact it was an accident. That's pretty stupid to ban him from all parks for life for an accident and nobody got injured or hurt. It's customary for routy fans to throw back the balls of opposite teams during home games. This make the whole MLB look soft and like big babies.
EXACTLY what I was thinking. Hoppe do they enforce that? Let's say his girlfriend guys two tickets and he enters the stadium with thousands of people, how do they know?
He can still go to stadiums technically but if they see who he is, like if something happens again, then he’ll be charged with criminal trespassing and go to jail
He could definitely sneak in without getting caught because there’s no way every security guard at every stadium knows exactly what he looks like maybe at yankee stadium but other than that he’s probably good
Those days with the bottles and the batteries getting thrown at the players was what caused them to institute the no tolerance + all stadium ban for throwing shit. If nothing else, the stadium doesn't want to face the insurance bill when somebody from the upper deck misses the field and brains a kid in the lower seats.
@@rustilldown7 If he was arrested he would be sentenced and when released he could go to baseball again. But now, no baseball, and he looked young. It’s like a 60 year punishment for a split second dumb move that ultimately caused no harm and I’d be surprised if he wasn’t honestly sorry.
You want someone to hit you with a ball possibly a lot harder then then player got hit by if you want pretty sure many people out here can make that happen otherwise stfu about it wasn’t so serious bet you would complain if someone hit you with a baseball going at 98mph+
I really don't know if he deserves a banned for life. 5 years would probably do the same amount of "reform" as a lifetime ban. I'm already kind of hoping for the kid to get some redemption with his further actions
@@devinm9245 hey man, i'm not saying that it wasn't a stupid and shitty thing to do. But people change, people learn that their actionas have consequences. Besides, from everyone hating this dude, anybody who might think about doing the same will absolutely think twice. Everybody (rightfully) hates him. The lifetime ban absolutely isn't as effective as the social stigma
@@devinm9245 But players steal championships and don't even get banned for a day. Hopefully this kid realizes baseball isn't important in his life. A ban from major league parks is meaningless. Who cares if you're banned from watching spoiled players honoring racist thug terror organizations like BLM.
@@devinm9245 he’s a kid. Calm tf down. As if you’ve never made any mistake in your life as a kid lmao. 5yrs of being banned from ball parks would get the job done for anyone. A lifetime ban on a kid? Especially after crowd was chanting for him to throw it? May as well ban every fan out there if you’re gonna lash on a kid like that.
As soon as I heard about this incident I said to myself, I says, "Jomboys breakdown of this is gonna be sweet." Felt like forever to get it but it was worth it. Would reccomend.
What hypocrisy! I remember Stanton getting hit by a Red Sox fan after he hit a home run and the fan threw it back! Nothing happened to him, much less being suspended for life…
Soooo legit question: yes the kid made a mistake … but do we really think he was aiming at the player? That would be a hard throw for a pro to throw it that far and hit a player … I don’t think the kid should be banned for life from pro stadiums! Would love to hear what he has to say for himself
Agree. He probably threw it in the general direction of Verdugo, otherwise it would not hit. But I doubt he aimed it. Now that I think about it, Verdugo was looking at the ball when it hit him. Could he have been looking up, talking to the fans or something? Idk, it looks a bit fishy
He threw it quite a distance. There was a LOT of field that he could have hit. Instead, he hurled the ball far enough and accurately enough to hit a player. You can't have people like that attending games.
@@azzgunther you proved the wrong point, that just shows that out of all that field you really think he was aiming for the player? The crowd was chanting “throw it back” not “throw it at him” so why would he have any reason to do that especially after getting the ball from him...
its the concept of safety at your work place. yelling and cussing at a player is fairly routine, but for the most part the players are physically removed from ANY threat. this dude, and that minor section have now had an altercation no player has had to deal with since the last time a game was forfeited, with fans just chuckin shit on the field. no athlete wants to trip or get ambushed by an angry fan messing with them. and as the old saying goes, if its happened once it will happen again
thats a bit of an overreaction to be banned for life from all games just for accidentally hitting someone with a ball, especially when throwing balls back onto the field is an acceptable thing to do in itself at times
"At times" being the key word genius. After a home run by the opposing time? Its acceptable. It's in fun. After a play was trying to toss the ball to a fan? Thats when its NOT acceptable. Pretty stupid of you not to understand this on your own.
May I say that every video that I have seen from is straight up, dead on balls accurate....perfection? They are excellent! Not a bunch of jibber jabber. You explain everything smoothly and get right to the issues. Great work! Considered me subscribed!
I was at this game, they waited a hour to start the game and of course when they actually do start, it starts to rain. If they just started this game on time, it would have been over.
I was also at that game. When those 2 HRs happened in the bottom of the 6th, everyone went crazy. That first one would only be a HR in one ballpark according to statcast, Yankees Stadium
You could move that same kid to the front row of that same section and give him 50 more throws and I bet he wouldn’t hit Verdugo again….. it was clearly luck or unlucky however you wanna put it. I mean look at the poor goofy looking guy. No way he could do that again if he tried.
@@SnapPeaSam it’s more of a symbolic thing. The league is taking the strongest possible stance they can take against this type of behavior. The ban isn’t enforceable, everyone (including the MLB) knows that. So yeah, I’m sure this guy isn’t gonna choose to go to a baseball game in a long time. But if down the road he wants to go, he will with no consequences or worry
Kid honestly had a pretty good throw. Work on the aim and he’d make a pretty good pitcher. Could you imagine if another team recruited him? Would be hilarious
@@davegrohled828 that’s different tho cause he did it on purpose, this kid just kinda lobbed the ball out there and hit the guy on accident, should he be punished yeah, should it be this harsh no way
Nope. If they don't draw a line there, fans start throwing more things or acting worse. This is their workplace, he's not getting paid for being hit by strangers throwing stuff at him.
Baseball is for premadonnas Imagine doing anything other than turning around, a "wtf?" gesture and leaving it at that. He got tapped with a toss not beaned with a fastball, and he's gonna cry about it for twenty minutes. And then people in the comments are acting like the guy threw a grenade at him. Without seeing the throw how can you know if it was even intentional?
I can’t be the only person who kinda feels bad for the kid. He likely didn’t mean it, as he was shaking and immediately accepted his fate when caught. I feel like maybe a temporary ban or something would be better (I assume he could bypass their system but still). Banned for life though? That’s super harsh.
He meant to throw the ball back. For no reason. It wasn't after a home run. It was after the prayer was being nice and throwing it into the crowd for a fan. Boo fucking hoo, he shouldn't have been a moron.
@@VisibilityFoggy No adults with him. Looks like he's over 18. If he is somehow under 18, then he was old enough to be at a game by himself, and therefore old enough to know not to throw shit on the field. Fans who do this are rarely ever identified. The fact they banned him shows he is at least 18 since they aren't going to bad an actual kid.
Almost feel kinda bad for the kid really didn’t seem like he did it maliciously was just a nervous energy kid who tried to be cool when the whole crowd was chanting at him. Bet if he tried 100 times he could probably only hit that guy , I actually doubt he was even aiming at him
Make the ball a gun without malice. Or put the ball into the sweet spot in the back of the head, not on purpose, ruining a baseball career. The kid should be "feeling bad" in jail right now after arraignment waiting for a hearing.
@@BroMark1611 If you think he deserves to be in jail for this, you have some serious soul searching to do. And this is coming from a "back the blue" guy.
@@MarkCuda he should have spent a night in jail minimum. Just because he got lucky and didn’t hit him in the back of the head doesn’t mean he gets off Scott free
Imaging getting banned for accidentally hitting a player with a ball lobbed back onto the field, yet pitchers intentionally throw fastballs at batters for "unwritten rules" violations.
this made verdugo and the red sox look like entitled brats. all that drama over basically nothing, no way that even hurt him, and he had to throw a temper tantrum for five minutes over it.
@@yankmyass Okay yeah it was out of line and probably should've gotten him kicked out, but all THAT?? And banned from every park for life?! Talk about a bunch of divas.
@@Studio23Media there's literally rules against this when you buy your tickets it's not ANYONES fault you idiots don't actually read the fine print; and this is technically assault with a weapon against someone simply there to do his job so yes this is 100% necessary the fact that it was a fan from one the worst fan bases in baseball only makes it that much sweeter.
@Austin Kilgore Warm-up balls tossed to the crowd? Not common at all. Even throwing visitor's home run balls back is uncommon. Only morons throw a ball back onto the field.
Agreed. Home run balls from the visiting team are one thing. Could you imagine if one of the ball boys tossed a fan a foul ball and they just chucked it back into the field of play? Guarantee no one is getting any more balls that game.
@@rickhaavisto9023 No, not generally. Battery generally requires "the actor intends or knows that their action will cause the offensive touching." And just in general, the US and many legal systems have clear distinctions between punishments for crimes of intent and crimes without intent.

Meat slap
@@KillaWhiteChedda best part about that whole scene is when you find out he was the backup QB, not even the starter
Considering the athletic ability of the average person I really doubt he hit him intentionally
My guess is he was trying to but didn’t actually expect to hit em. To accidentally hit him from that far is pretty far fetched. Like he has to be throwing it roughly towards him.
He probably didn’t mean to but you just shouldn’t throw something at someone who isn’t looking.
Even if it was intentional nothing will happen to him other than getting kicked out of the game from that distance. Hard to say. If he was standing 10 feet in front of him and threw it at him then that's different
Tony G jomboy stated that kid got banned from all MLB parks for life. In a way that sucks if it was unintentional and the guy purely succumbed to peer pressure. But on the other hand the league has to set a precedent to keep the players protected from stuff like that.
@@MidwestSteeze Yeah I agree. I don't feel like that's something they can keep "for life" though. Give this a year to blow over and I'm sure this guy can have someone buy a ticket for him and he can get in. Especially if he's wearing a hat or something next time

I've never caught a ball at a game. Just my luck I would catch one, then the fans would yell throw it back and I would bean a guy in the back of the head because I can't throw.
Yeah, if they really think he hit him on purpose from way up there, then what they really need to be doing is giving him a tryout, not banning him lol. Feel bad for the guy
A ban from every stadium for life, so fucking dumb lol... just this past year the dude who spat on trae young and the dude who poured popcorn on westbrook got comparatively waaaay softer punishments where you KNOW their intentions were rotten.

@@TraumaER lol a forty mph ball to the back, he’s fine lmao
I’ve never seen a series of such unlucky incidents in a row, poor kid didn’t know how badly fate was about to treat him
No pity. Bad luck involved? Maybe, but he threw the ball. People need to be held accountable for their actions, more than ever these days. MLB had to come down hard to set a precedent. If that's me, I'm giving the ball to a Red Sox fan, and if I absolutely HAD to throw it back and I can't throw, I'm getting closer to the wall to do it.
@@dnice9211 Baseball's unwritten rules are a mess, hell even some of the written ones are. Those need to be addressed on their own (and probably never will be). The example you brought up is interesting though, because sometimes it's hard to tell when it's on purpose vs. accidental. The same could be said for fans throwing stuff at players, so they have to take a hard line to eliminate any accidental contact.
@@deezyvsop2 We all appreciate hard justice until we’re the ones out on the spot light. I think you’re right tho, but then again I’m not the one throwing a ball
@@deezyvsop2 The punishment was a little extreme in my opinion. I'd have him banned from games for a few years at most.. then of course if he ever F'd up again then it would be for life. Questionable at best whether the act was intentional, and baseball cannot exactly afford to be tossing away any fans right now with their diminishing popularity.
Don’t be a douche tho
Love the coaches holding Verdugo back as if he’s going to jump up into the upper deck to attack the guy
If you know Verdugo, he absolutely would. He keeps it 💯

Ron Artest style.
If he somehow superman jumped up to the upper deck from the field, it wouldn't be the first time a player on a team has attacked a fan. Anyone remember the Pacers-Pistons brawl?
Would have been funny if he got in the stands and the fan kicked his ass!!😂players seiner
Imagine being banned for life and being roasted on the internet for an accident...and yes I believe the kid. It's more likely that it was an accident than he has laser pinpoint accuracy from 200 feet.
More like 75-100 feet. Not that far at all.
He may of accidentally hit him but he definitely threw the ball on purpose. Fault is all his
I mean did he or did he not throw the ball back? Once you perform an action, you deal with the repercussions of that action. Is a lifetime ban overboard? Sure. But the fan doesn't have any negotiating power for his mistake because HE threw the ball, simple.
Okay, but a player can throw a ball into a crowd, but someone from the crowd cant throw it back?
@@michaelbread5906 people in the crowd are generally aware of a ball being thrown gently their way. A player looking the other way when a ball is thrown hard at their body is a different situation entirely

In 2019 Stanton was hit by a fan throwing a ball back after he hit a homerun. The media said it was an epic throw and people joked about giving him a contract. The person wasn't even ejected from the game. Imo, it was because Stanton tipped his cap towards the person that threw the ball though he was irked by it. Verdugo made a meal of it.
“Oh man, I can’t believe someone threw a ball directly at a player… oh it’s a Sox-Yankees game? Alright.”

How exactly do you enforce that ban? It's not like they scan your passport when you enter the ballpark.
Do they ask for ID, maybe? Or maybe it's just a no-trespass order and if he's ever found in another ballpark, he'll get arrested?
From what I've heard, you might not be able to buy tickets under your own name, but the bans are still hard to actually enforce. The big thing, though, is that if you do get past the ban and get caught doing more shenanigans at the park, you get charged with trespassing.

Dude that kid does not look he could hit a billboard intentionally from that far away let alone a player.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. Hoppe do they enforce that? Let's say his girlfriend guys two tickets and he enters the stadium with thousands of people, how do they know?
He can still go to stadiums technically but if they see who he is, like if something happens again, then he’ll be charged with criminal trespassing and go to jail
He could definitely sneak in without getting caught because there’s no way every security guard at every stadium knows exactly what he looks like maybe at yankee stadium but other than that he’s probably good

Agree. He probably threw it in the general direction of Verdugo, otherwise it would not hit. But I doubt he aimed it.
Now that I think about it, Verdugo was looking at the ball when it hit him. Could he have been looking up, talking to the fans or something? Idk, it looks a bit fishy
How about don’t throw things on the field. Especially something hard like a baseball, and especially when that player isn’t looking.
He threw it quite a distance. There was a LOT of field that he could have hit. Instead, he hurled the ball far enough and accurately enough to hit a player. You can't have people like that attending games.

@varun prasad After a home run. Not when a player is trying to be nice by giving a ball to a fan. Understand now? Good boy.
@@tamizhaa2012 It's youtube, sweetie. I'm very sorry about autocorrect and not giving a fuck about grammar on a jomboy video. But you do you, dork.
@varun prasad the ball wasn’t even meant for the Yankees fan…
May I say that every video that I have seen from is straight up, dead on balls accurate....perfection? They are excellent! Not a bunch of jibber jabber. You explain everything smoothly and get right to the issues. Great work! Considered me subscribed!
I was at this game, they waited a hour to start the game and of course when they actually do start, it starts to rain. If they just started this game on time, it would have been over.
I was also at that game. When those 2 HRs happened in the bottom of the 6th, everyone went crazy. That first one would only be a HR in one ballpark according to statcast, Yankees Stadium
As soon as I saw this live I thought, "yup this is a new Jomboy video"
You could move that same kid to the front row of that same section and give him 50 more throws and I bet he wouldn’t hit Verdugo again….. it was clearly luck or unlucky however you wanna put it. I mean look at the poor goofy looking guy. No way he could do that again if he tried.
If he plays catch alot he could be pretty accurate.
Looks like someone was water trash in little league... Pony League would have taught you how to throw maybe.
Lifetime ban is pretty harsh… giving the kid the benefit of the doubt here.
@@potcommitted5355 right, but the stance they take is shortsighted
@@potcommitted5355 right, but the stance they take is shortsighted
I agree, you can tell he's young and you know everyone was yelling throw it back....and now he can never take his grandson to a game.
Especially when pitchers can damn near kill a player on purpose and nothing much happens.
@@SnapPeaSam it’s more of a symbolic thing. The league is taking the strongest possible stance they can take against this type of behavior.
The ban isn’t enforceable, everyone (including the MLB) knows that. So yeah, I’m sure this guy isn’t gonna choose to go to a baseball game in a long time. But if down the road he wants to go, he will with no consequences or worry
Kid honestly had a pretty good throw. Work on the aim and he’d make a pretty good pitcher. Could you imagine if another team recruited him? Would be hilarious
He was just tryin to get drafted with his aim
Banned for life from all 30 parks? I think of myself as a throw the book at them type guy and even that seems a little excessive to me.
Throwing a book at him would be a better punishment, eye for eye
If they build a new stadium, he's in the clear.
look at what hapend to the fan that threw a water bottle at kyie irving. he has charges man.
@@davegrohled828 that’s different tho cause he did it on purpose, this kid just kinda lobbed the ball out there and hit the guy on accident, should he be punished yeah, should it be this harsh no way
@@maxhorsford7800 Exactly!
If I were banned from all 30 ballparks I would accept that challenge and see how many I could visit. 😂
Can’t lie
Still every time it seems like so much drama for such a small event
Nope. If they don't draw a line there, fans start throwing more things or acting worse. This is their workplace, he's not getting paid for being hit by strangers throwing stuff at him.
It's no big deal until someone else's throw some type of weapon at players. This is a huge deal.
@@law35penn people are gonna start assassinating players?
@@TheJingles007 You uh, ever watched some third world soccer matches?
Baseball is for premadonnas
Imagine doing anything other than turning around, a "wtf?" gesture and leaving it at that. He got tapped with a toss not beaned with a fastball, and he's gonna cry about it for twenty minutes.
And then people in the comments are acting like the guy threw a grenade at him. Without seeing the throw how can you know if it was even intentional?
I can’t be the only person who kinda feels bad for the kid. He likely didn’t mean it, as he was shaking and immediately accepted his fate when caught. I feel like maybe a temporary ban or something would be better (I assume he could bypass their system but still). Banned for life though? That’s super harsh.
He meant to throw the ball back. For no reason. It wasn't after a home run. It was after the prayer was being nice and throwing it into the crowd for a fan. Boo fucking hoo, he shouldn't have been a moron.
@@DavidBennet ok but he’s also just a kid, if it was a grown man I’d feel differently but he’s just a kid
@@swifter2383 Hes at least 18 which IS a grown man genius. And he's old enough to know you aren't allowed to do it. Don't be such a coddling baby.
@@DavidBennet How do we know he is "at least 18?" He has not been identified publicly, which indicates to me he specifically is NOT at least 18.
@@VisibilityFoggy No adults with him. Looks like he's over 18. If he is somehow under 18, then he was old enough to be at a game by himself, and therefore old enough to know not to throw shit on the field. Fans who do this are rarely ever identified. The fact they banned him shows he is at least 18 since they aren't going to bad an actual kid.
Good guy ump Laz Diaz putting his arm around Verdugo letting him know he has his back.
Yeah i felt pretty bad for verdugo cuz he was just trying to be nice and some guy throws a ball at him...

Yankees should give him a contract. They need all the help they can get.
Almost feel kinda bad for the kid really didn’t seem like he did it maliciously was just a nervous energy kid who tried to be cool when the whole crowd was chanting at him.
Bet if he tried 100 times he could probably only hit that guy , I actually doubt he was even aiming at him
Make the ball a gun without malice. Or put the ball into the sweet spot in the back of the head, not on purpose, ruining a baseball career. The kid should be "feeling bad" in jail right now after arraignment waiting for a hearing.
@@BroMark1611 If you think he deserves to be in jail for this, you have some serious soul searching to do. And this is coming from a "back the blue" guy.
@@MarkCuda he should have spent a night in jail minimum. Just because he got lucky and didn’t hit him in the back of the head doesn’t mean he gets off Scott free

...what?
You have some of the absolute best "sponsored by" segments. Just phenomenal.
Imaging getting banned for accidentally hitting a player with a ball lobbed back onto the field, yet pitchers intentionally throw fastballs at batters for "unwritten rules" violations.
Everybody was like "Jimmy's not gonna do a video on that, he's too much of a Yankee fan". Thanks for proving the haters wrong!
this made verdugo and the red sox look like entitled brats. all that drama over basically nothing, no way that even hurt him, and he had to throw a temper tantrum for five minutes over it.

@@Studio23Media there's literally rules against this when you buy your tickets it's not ANYONES fault you idiots don't actually read the fine print; and this is technically assault with a weapon against someone simply there to do his job so yes this is 100% necessary the fact that it was a fan from one the worst fan bases in baseball only makes it that much sweeter.
Look at that accuracy. Give that fan a contract
Jomboy's lip reading skills were absolutely on point as always
Why tell him to throw it back when the guy intentionally threw it into the crowd for someone to have? Wtf?
@Austin Kilgore No, it isn't common. It's only common at Wrigley Field, headquarters for morons.
@Austin Kilgore Warm-up balls tossed to the crowd? Not common at all. Even throwing visitor's home run balls back is uncommon. Only morons throw a ball back onto the field.
@Austin Kilgore
It's dumb af.
General consensus seems to be that you're wrong anyway.
@@chadrat39
What? I'm not allowed to use a question as a narrative devise? FFS google it.
Agreed. Home run balls from the visiting team are one thing. Could you imagine if one of the ball boys tossed a fan a foul ball and they just chucked it back into the field of play? Guarantee no one is getting any more balls that game.
Punishment is really severe for it not clearly being out of aggression tho.
Battery not out of aggression is still battery...
@@rickhaavisto9023 No, not generally. Battery generally requires "the actor intends or knows that their action will cause the offensive touching." And just in general, the US and many legal systems have clear distinctions between punishments for crimes of intent and crimes without intent.
I remember a couple years ago stanton hit a home run to the monster wall at Fenway and he threw the ball back and hit stanton rounding second base very impressive throw tho
BRING ME THAT ARM!
Remember that too. Stanton looked up and gestered, like nice arm.
yea I think it bounced first which makes it a haha whereas no bounce = life ban

At a certain point, it becomes whining, and the outfielder crossed that line. Buckle up, kid. Every day is a rough ride.
