Adam Jones Eviscerates Kid Who Caught His 150th Home Run Ball

Here’s the cliff notes: Adam Jones hit his 150th career home run on Tuesday night and some loser kid got it. Adam wanted the ball back, so his assistant offered the bro who retrieved the ball a signed bat and two balls to get the ball back. For the 150th home run of Jones’ career, that’s not too bad at all. But no, the bro all of a sudden thought he was fucking Mark Cuban and went all Shark Tank on him and tried to negotiate a deal for the ball. Bro got to meet Adam Jones in addition to the original offer. This is an actual photo of said negotiations.

So flash forward to Adam Jones being passive with the asshole during their meeting and says he’s gotta hit the road, you know, because he’s a professional ball player with a schedule and no time for morons, and the kid proceeded to track him down and ask for a picture and for the balls to be signed. Jones supposedly drops this gem: “Jesus fucking Christ, I’m the one who hit the fucking home run.” and signs the baseball. Gold. Picture was awesome too.

AJ gave zero fucks. Good for him. It’s apparent that Jones had a generous pre-determined offering to get it back, and the guy spat on it and tried to be a tough guy. We’re talking about a 150th home run ball, not some hot commodity. There’s no market for 150th home run balls.

The kid is among a group of college kids who call themselves “ballhawks” and still think they’re 8 years old tracking down foul balls. While most adults go to the ballpark to have a great time with their friends and drink a million 9 dollar beers, this guy goes out of his way to get foul balls and home runs with home made devices. He even retrieved the ball from the gap between the RF fence and the bleachers with some homemade cup contraption. What a cool cat!

I love Adam putting this loser in his place. He’s lucky to have gotten anything at all, and even after getting much more than he should have, still proceeded to try to drag Jones’ name through the mud on one of his blogs. The whole city knows Jones’ reputation as one of the better and more likable guys in the game and stuck up for him accordingly. Really, Adam gives away free shit all the time (and does so much community work), it’s ridiculous this asshole who claims to be an Orioles fan pulled this stunt. That’s why the kid who wrote the blog has been taking a licking on twitter ever since.

Maybe next time just get drunk, enjoy the game and not be a dick. I don’t know, is that so hard? So at the end of the day he has a signed baseball, nobody’s respect, and now everyone knows he’s a scumbag.
