Chicago Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber’s walk-off sets Twitter on fire

The Chicago Cubs are fighting to keep their lead in the Division; yet everyone’s lost their head because the “Mai Tai Guy” supposedly stole a kid’s ball.

This happens every year.  A fan will get a home run ball and have to fight off a school of kids to get it, and then everyone in Chicago passes judgment on the fan, and it’s always negative feedback. Last year, a guy caught a ball, and some kids were begging for it, but he gave it to his date (happy wife, happy life), and the city went crazy.

“How could she take the ball?”

“Why did he give it to her?”

“Why is she going out with him?”

“I can’t believe he didn’t give it to those kids.”

Because the Cubs have a national audience, the Twitter and Facebook feed were lighting up with disgust for this guy. After reaching near hysteria, with CNN picking up the clips, finally, the truth came out. This guy had grabbed a bunch of balls earlier and had given them out to the kids in the area. The last one, however, he gave to his girl. When the truth came out, everyone snapped out of the zombie fog they had fallen into and forgave the ball-collector.

This season, Chicago fans have found a new villain through social media posts and rants.
