In one of the most disgusting sequences you’ll see in sports, a man was seeing taking a home run ball courtesy of Juan Soto from a young fan’s glove at a Royals game Sunday. The video went viral as the thief remained anonymous, until now.
The person who stole the ball has been identified as Mark Kirsch. The Royals discovered and shared his name in an email sent to The Kansas City Star. He is known for pulling planes and cars in an online series called Man vs. Impossible.
The young fan named Bruce Williams, who is a lifelong Royals fan, was given tickets to Sunday’s game for his upcoming 18th birthday. He told The Kansas City Star that he made the two-hour drive from his home in Stockton, Missouri, to Kauffman Stadium.
