He looked genuinely devestated and disappointed in himself. I honestly get why his natural reaction was to reach for the ball so I am glad that Sabol was so kind about it.
Reminds me of a story from MLB in the 1970s - a reporter was doing a pregame interview with - I think - Sparky Anderson - and he got so involved with his questions that he didn't notice that the game had begun and the first batter was at the plate. He apologized profusely to the manager who waved him off and said "Hey, don't worry about it - we do this every day."
@@perniciouspete4986 he was booed by the stadium and clearly felt like crap even after the fist bump. Wow. what a reward he got. If you call that a reward, I feel sorry for anyone you buy birthday gifts for.
@@perniciouspete4986 Did you notice the kids wearing a Giants jersey? Not likely he'd intentionally cause a run to score against his team. He also got booed by the entire stadium and it's just a game
Blake Sabol was vividly aware of another person struggling in a tough position, and despite being on the negative side of the outcome of that person's action, he offered compassion to someone who never intended to do him harm. What a great guy. Gotta say, I may be a fan of this Blake Sabol guy now.
So cool to see an athlete actually caring about the bigger picture. He can see beyond the moment in the game and that it’s more important to encourage the kid at that time. Big props to Sabol
When he said "Just have fun" I was like Yes! That's the outlook. Se get so serious about sports that we forget that it's literally all meant to be fun! Great perspective for a player to have.
@@dasfowler exactly! So many of these breakdowns are grown men losing their minds over a blown call. I get that it’s part of their jobs and we are competitive people, but they’re playing a flippin game at the end of the day. We need more of this in sports.
@bskee001 No my friend, you are the man. I had a great laugh when I saw your original reply. It was the best possible reply to that post. My hats off to you cousin Ed👌
Went to high school with him. We played on the same Freshman basketball team 😂 (And yes can confirm he’s an amazing human being, it’s bigger than baseball for him and doesn’t let it get to his head)
@Bubba603 as a giants fan who travels to LA for the games I have to say I've only ever been treated with respect by you guys as well. There's always smack talk which of course goes both ways, but it's always been good natured and nothing I would ever consider over the line. Much respect to our brothers and competitors to the South!!
The Giants ended up winning the game and afterwards Sabol met with the kid outside their locker room for a photo-op. Really cool of the Giants and Sabol to do this. 🙂
He probably lost some fans by not playing through the interference, potentially costing a run. Had he grabbed the ball and threw it to third the run wouldn’t have scored.
Sabol has definitely earned a new fan in me. What a class act. And that kid is an amazing baseball fan. He totally understood the mistake he made, one any of us could easily make
Sabol is currently becoming one of my favorites in the game. This just goes to show his character even more. Hope he stays in the league and has some more success in the coming years!
@@Brian-qn7fn I guarantee you would be at risk of making the exact same mistake if you were in his situation. I know I would. He clearly did know better, but in the heat of the moment it is INCREDIBELY easy to not think completely straight.

That kid is clearly far more mature than plenty of other fans, and shouldn't be receiving any hate at all. Think of all the idiot, full-grown adults that throw trash on the field, or point lasers at players. Age has no factor here.
I am a Philies fan but now I am a fan of Sabol. It just shows how a small act of kindness goes a long way. I'm sure this kid will never forget it. Way to go Sabol!!
To be fair, those are pretty different situations. This happened in a random regular season game. Bartman's gaffe occurred with six outs remaining in what could have been a victory that clinched the Cubs' first World Series appearance in 58 years. That said, Bartman did not deserve the treatment he received.
I struggle to even call it a gaffe, he didn't reach over the fence and there were multiple other fans going for the ball. Not even certain Alou makes that play, the Cubs also went on to give up 8 runs after that play so for Cubs fans to put the amount of blame on him that they did is moronic.
@@mc76 Which is why it was more important for Alou to get the crowd off Bartman's back. Alou's immediate reaction caused the uproar to be even worse. These are desperately World Series hungry Cubs fans jumping all over one guy, largely due to Alou's immediate reaction. Alou should have tried to squash it for Bartman. He didn't and Bartman got the long-term undeserved burn for it...
That was a genuinely nice response from Blake Sabol to console that young fan being booed. In a grade A class act move, Sabol showed everyone there that, hey... stuff happens, it's just a game, we're all good, we're having fun, we want you here. Damn, I _love_ baseball!
Great role models here. The player shows the kindness I should have when others make mistakes. The kid shows the humility and ability to learn I should have when I make mistakes. And Jimmy shows the breakdown once again that I love.
I wish that Sabol acted like he got immense pain when the kid gave him the fist bump just to make that kid panic some more and then just be like, "Just playing!"
I'm a Dodger fan so there's that, but that was a great move by Sabol. It's baseball. Stuff happens. Fans tend to muck up situations in every way and this was a great example of doing the right thing. Sabol has his next future as a coach, I can see it. Respect to the guy and everyone will get over it.
An awesome story all around: A great breakdown by Jomboy (rule check vs challenge, Cobb facial reactions) and a class act by Sabol (empathy from baseball player to fan)
Kind of disappointing that the first instinct is to boo. We all make mistakes, really nice to see this had a happy ending. You can tell that kid is a fan of the game
It also just doesn’t really make sense lol The Mets were home, him interfering was advantageous to the home team Why are you booing someone that just helped your team lmao Mets gonna Mets
I think its fine to boo him. It's the crowd just having fun. Fans act ridiculous its part of the fun. But it depends how long it lasts and if people start yelling crazy stuff. Sometimes there are men who get very aggressive over something like this and want to fight. They'll start yelling some crazy stuff....thats when it crosses the line. I think boo'ing at the stadium is fine. Finding where he lives and stuff is insane, thats the stuff they did to Bartman.
really cool from Sabol to take the time to do this, it cost him nothing, but it means so much. In general, you can tell the Giants players seems to be very level headed, not big egos or showing off, which leads me to believe the organization is specifically looking for when they bring new talent.
@@sfan2767 So that kid has two new favorites now - Blake Sabol for being cool about this, and Patrick Bailey for making it so that run didn't hurt the Giants in the end.
That left fielder instantly gained my respect and I will always root for him even if he’s not on my team… that’s what you’re supposed to do as a role model and just a human being. And it means so much more because he’s a professional athlete … thank god for kind souls like him still being around in the world lol
If only there was somewhere you could have found the player's name. Like if there was an information super roadway thingie with descriptions to videos and links you could simply click on. Oh well. Until that day, you'll just have to keep looking lazy and uneducated.
Sabal is literally an awesome guy, he's overlooked as a player especially. A couple weeks ago me and my gf went to a sf game really early to see if we can get some autographs and apparently Sabol was the last person to give out autographs to fans. As soon as we were next, sabol tells the worker that's guarding the line "that's it right?" The worker replied " yeah that's it, thanks" right before he was about to leave back into the locker room, he saw my girlfriend holding her jersey out and decided to grab it and sign it for her. She's a huge fan of sabol that she got star struck in that moment, that I had to be the one to say thank you because she was just to excited haha.
That gesture doesn’t just tell the kid it’s gonna be alright, it also tells the fans to chill out booing him. If they continue to boo after Sabol says it’s gonna be alright then they’re booing Sabol too at that point. He basically is saying you’re not going through this alone as well as saying everything is gonna be alright. Nice dude!
@@cmdrfunk You saw him sink in his chair and say "this is bad", right? You saw the dejected look as the whole stadium booed him, right? He *clearly* recognizes that he screwed up bad and is unlikely to ever to it again. But OF COURSE your take is that he's encouraged to do it again because he was rewarded. Man, you must hate everyone. How does it feel to think the worst of every person you see? Wait, let me guess ..."when I expect the worst I'm rarely disappointed", right? Some total BS like that?
Precisely. The fans were essentially booing in the place of the Giants team. When a Giants player says it's all good, it nullifies their justification for booing.
W player. I couldn’t imagine the embarrassment I’d feel knowing wholeheartedly that’s something I’d likely do myself. The only people who could’ve made me feel any better about it would’ve been the players themselves. Got to really appreciate his empathy ❤️
@@BC-ny3zbI wouldn't. You see it coming right towards you, you are excited, you go into a bit of a haze as it's coming in, you go for the play and! Shoot. It was fair, wasn't it. Shoot. I screwed up. There's literally nothing I can do to fix my mistake. I've done it. I know people who have done it. It isn't intentional, and it sucks for everyone it happens to. Not saying truly intentional interference doesn't happen, when a guy sticks out his leg to trip the running back, but when you slump in your chair, it's a mistake, one loads of people make in the frenzy of live events.
4:39 lovely. And sorry to be that guy, but this is exactly what I’m talking about when I complain about players swearing and being dicks in front of kids. This kid just learned a huge lesson about sportsmanship and compassion.
It's a very solid point about the difference of being a playoff game.. but. Moses' reaction to the play turned what would've been a tiny fire into a full blown Forrest fire.
Why do umpires get to decide where the runners go on fan interference but when a baserunner is damn near rounding third when a base hit becomes a ground rule double the runner can not ever score?
That was a classy move by Sabol. He's a good dude and knew not to hate on a kid who was just excited to get a ball. Much respect to him for making that kind gesture!!
absolute CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hey man, it's baseball.. these things happen. just another variable in the game. fans need to stop attacking other fans. i get it, it sucks.. but you gotta understand that some people just lose themselves in the excitement. it's all good. Sabol is a class act for going over there and calming the kid down, no doubt.
@officeman15 That has always bugged me about that moment. Low chance that Alou makes that catch, yet Bartman gets labeled public enemy #1! Even worse is when FOX(?) & SportsCenter amplified it by plastering the poor guy on TV a week straight. I was 10 at the time, and even I knew it was wrong and egregious
@@MarloSoBalJr not to mention the Chicago Sun Times listed his name and employer in the paper in the days that followed. Journalistic integrity at its finest.
That’s the difference. Instead of that kid having a terrible experience at a baseball game that may have caused him to never go to another game, he made a fan for life. It’s a game and you’re playing to win, but baseball is just as much about the fan experience as it is winning the game. I wish even 5% of MLB players nowadays had the class that this small act showed.
Sabol is a great representation of how we should aspire to be. Giving compassion to those who are hurting and made a less than 10 second mistake. It’s a game but that kid will feel this forever. Silver lining was Sabol’s emotionally mature understanding of the situation.
Kid shouldn’t of done that and he knows better. The way the kid showed remorse and accountability makes up for it 10 times over. He showed more maturity than most adults do in that situation. Great job by the player to recognize this and give him a little love
This is so ridiculous…umps awarding runs because they THINK someone might have scored…what a mess. This is why I haven’t watched baseball in like 5 years…they’ve screwed around with it too much.
I was at this game. Everyone around me boo’d the kid and told him to fuck off. Then they put his face on the screen and everyone went “oh it’s just a kid nevermind.”
At the end of the day this game probably means nothing to the Giant's season, but to the kid it feels like he's ruined something huge. Absolute class from Sabol to try and make him feel a bit better.
I love the Giants so much, It was last year I was able to meet some of the players and they seemed like genuinely kind dudes. Ive been a fan for a long time and love seeing Sabol come over and console the kid.
He looked genuinely devestated and disappointed in himself. I honestly get why his natural reaction was to reach for the ball so I am glad that Sabol was so kind about it.
Mets fans probably thought he did it on purpose or something :( His hand to his heart was so real!

Not saying truly intentional interference doesn't happen, when a guy sticks out his leg to trip the running back, but when you slump in your chair, it's a mistake, one loads of people make in the frenzy of live events.
The Alex Cobb part of this video actually made me laugh so hard 😂😂💀💀
4:39 lovely. And sorry to be that guy, but this is exactly what I’m talking about when I complain about players swearing and being dicks in front of kids. This kid just learned a huge lesson about sportsmanship and compassion.
Good on him for dapping the kid up, everyone makes mistakes and that was really close to the line.
Nice job Blake. That kid had to feel like crap with everyone booing him...
"the one on the left, he's happy" spit my drink out🤣🤣
Sabol has my respect! What a class act!
Sabol is what a MLB player should be! Class act for sure…👍
If Moses had reacted like this to Bartman and not how he actually reacted, Bartman wouldn't be remembered at all.
I’m not so sure. Fans were pretty rabid that night.
The context was very different. Who knows what would have happened if this was a deciding game of the NLCS
@@mam362tbf, it’s not bartman’s fault the cubs fell apart
@@midwestproblem3162 sure, but the scenario was much more emotionally charged for the players
It's a very solid point about the difference of being a playoff game.. but. Moses' reaction to the play turned what would've been a tiny fire into a full blown Forrest fire.
Why do umpires get to decide where the runners go on fan interference but when a baserunner is damn near rounding third when a base hit becomes a ground rule double the runner can not ever score?
Stand up move from Sabol for sure . 100% kid was just excited. Probably saved a bit of one of the worst feelings of that kids life.
Felt bad for the kid, he obviously felt really bad about it. Hopefully he sees this video and all the comments saying they feel for him
That fielder who fist bumped the kid was pretty cool about it all.
That was a classy move by Sabol. He's a good dude and knew not to hate on a kid who was just excited to get a ball. Much respect to him for making that kind gesture!!
Jomboy coming in clutch with the breakdowns.
Beautiful gesture by the outfielder. So glad he did that.
the close up on the total bro fist at then end is what baseball is all about
absolute CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hey man, it's baseball.. these things happen. just another variable in the game. fans need to stop attacking other fans. i get it, it sucks.. but you gotta understand that some people just lose themselves in the excitement. it's all good. Sabol is a class act for going over there and calming the kid down, no doubt.
I really don’t think him barely touching the ball made any difference on the play
His buddy said "Relax, it's not like Jomboy's gonna cover it dude..."
This actually makes me wanna root for the giants more.
Is that frank the tank in the background at 1:58?
Dodgers fan here, but Sabol is nothing but a class act. Whata. throughful and encouraging thing for him to do!
4:29 this fist pump breakdown was perfect 😂
I really want a Bartman breakdown.
It’s kinda been done to death.
It's funny because the Bartman one was nowhere near as egregious as this.
@officeman15 That has always bugged me about that moment.
Low chance that Alou makes that catch, yet Bartman gets labeled public enemy #1! Even worse is when FOX(?) & SportsCenter amplified it by plastering the poor guy on TV a week straight.
I was 10 at the time, and even I knew it was wrong and egregious
@@MarloSoBalJr not to mention the Chicago Sun Times listed his name and employer in the paper in the days that followed. Journalistic integrity at its finest.
@@officeman15 Yeah but Bartman didnt "cost them" a play-off game. I bet they wouldnt be "no big deal" if that was the case.
That’s the difference. Instead of that kid having a terrible experience at a baseball game that may have caused him to never go to another game, he made a fan for life. It’s a game and you’re playing to win, but baseball is just as much about the fan experience as it is winning the game. I wish even 5% of MLB players nowadays had the class that this small act showed.
Sabol is a great representation of how we should aspire to be. Giving compassion to those who are hurting and made a less than 10 second mistake. It’s a game but that kid will feel this forever. Silver lining was Sabol’s emotionally mature understanding of the situation.
That’s super nice of the Giants player to go tell the kid it’s all good.
Blake sabol
Dude is nice
2:03 - Point and Laugh Guy: (Upon spotting Johnny Lawrence) “GET HIM A BODY BAG! YEAAAAAH!”
Kid shouldn’t of done that and he knows better. The way the kid showed remorse and accountability makes up for it 10 times over. He showed more maturity than most adults do in that situation. Great job by the player to recognize this and give him a little love
Should've been removed.
@@kentstallard6512bro chill
@@kentstallard6512he is a little kid leave him alone
Kid actually was a lot more torn up about it than most adults I've seen that have interfered
@@kentstallard6512 what the hell is your problem
This is so ridiculous…umps awarding runs because they THINK someone might have scored…what a mess. This is why I haven’t watched baseball in like 5 years…they’ve screwed around with it too much.
It was like a 90% chance the runner scored on that play, maybe higher.
Damn, this almost makes me want to cry. What a sweet, sweet gesture.
I love Cobb's expressions. Watch at 1:19 it's the best, ole Squidward noodle arms. LOL He gets upset when the ball goes into play. 😂😅
player interaction with the kid was best part of the deal.
Blake Sabol has a new fan for life, me. I LOVE the way he handled this situation. ❤
Props to the player for trying to make the kid feel a bit better.
That poor kid. That would honestly stick with me for quite a while.
I don't think you should ever get mad at a kid for something like this. He's young and people make mistakes.
I was at this game. Everyone around me boo’d the kid and told him to fuck off. Then they put his face on the screen and everyone went “oh it’s just a kid nevermind.”
massive props to the san fran player for going over to the kid
The phone calling part was the best part 😂😂
At the end of the day this game probably means nothing to the Giant's season, but to the kid it feels like he's ruined something huge. Absolute class from Sabol to try and make him feel a bit better.
Giants won this game
"I think we need to pay more attention to catch faces" lmao. Love this channel.
He probably would’ve scored unless that ball caroms directly to the fielder.
We'll never know.
Jomboy you're one of the funniest people selling their funny today I swear
Nice going by the outfielder to talk to the fan. Kind move
I am dead with Jom's close up analysis of the fistbump.
Genuinely sweet moment that the player consoled him after
Simple, selfless, compassionate, class act by Sabol in the heat of the moment. Obviously a man of good character. Great to see!
It’s moments like these that make me the most proud of being a fan of this team
I love the Giants so much, It was last year I was able to meet some of the players and they seemed like genuinely kind dudes. Ive been a fan for a long time and love seeing Sabol come over and console the kid.
Love it - there are people that “get it” in this world and Sabol is one of them. Good stuff.
"Touch my first with your fist."
Never heard it described in such an intimate way.
Cubs fan here. This is heartbreaking, so glad the player took the time to talk to the kid, I hate what we did in 2003
Well, Chicagoans are like Philadelphians and New Yorkers, we kind of expect that behavior from yall.
The breakdown on the fist bump was bye far the best breakdown I've seen before on anything
