In 18 Seconds, You Will Understand Why This Young Baseball Fan Is Being Hailed Online As a Genius

A young Texas Rangers fan displayed some major league game Saturday night to impress the girl behind him.

After a Blue Jays player fouled off a ball, the third base coach flipped it over to the kid, who caught it with his glove. He then quickly handed off what appeared to be the ball to the girl sitting behind him.

But, appearances and actualities are two very different things.

Footage reveals the young fan actually switched out the game ball he had just obtained with another baseball he apparently had beforehand.

He not only walked away with the girl, but also the baseball. Smooth, kid.
