Anyone see the face-painted kid get (or nearly get) hit in the stands? What team was that and anyone know the story? Looks like the player really tried to settle the little guy down.

yep that thread is a pretty good read. major respect for Marty. Didn't even look back to see if he scored.

I think it's Mardy, but he is a player and a good sport. Nice little gesture after hitting the kid!

Looks like he more landed on the stairs and sort of brushed the kid. Poor little guy was scared, though. I can relate... I'm 6'6" and weigh a lot more than I should. I was less than a foot away from catching a whole lot more Crabtree than I wanted this year. He leaped (what seemed like) 8 feet in the air to catch an overthrown pass in the back of the endzone at Kyle Field. It DOES get the ol' adrenaline flowing. The only photos I have are after he hit the turf at my feet. Somehow, I forgot about shooting the play as it happened.
