Cubs Give Young Fan 2 Signed Baseballs After Middle-Aged Man Steals Foul Ball

An adult fan forgot this rule during the Chicago Cubs' 7-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday at Wrigley Field:

A throw into the stands from Chicago first base coach Will Venable landed on the ground, and the older man pounced on the opportunity to get a souvenir.

Luckily, the Cubs rectified the situation by giving the kid two replacement balls, including one from Javier Baez:
