Biggest Unspoken Rule For Baseball Fans - YouTube

It all started in Chicago, where a disgruntled bartender and Chicago Cubs fan threw back a home run ball hit by Hank Aaron in 1970 in Wrigley Field. It turns out he felt snubbed by Aaron the year before when he caught another home run by the legendary hitter. When he tried to give Aaron the ball, Aaron walked away, apparently trying to get off the field quickly because Cubs fans have been throwing beer at him during the game. From this unlikely beginning, the tradition continued. Fans routinely throw home run balls back that are hit by the other team, usually under pressure to do so by the crowd.
