Cubs' Baez hooks up young fan after adult steals foul ball

Cubs/Twitter

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez is trying to right the wrongs in the world - at least those that happen at Wrigley Field.

During the fourth inning of Sunday's game, a foul ball was hit down the line and picked up by Cubs first base coach Will Venable, who tossed it to a young fan in the first row. The ball was dropped, however, and rolled under the seat, where another fan picked it up and didn't return it to the kid.

The video gained traction on social media, and eventually the young Cubs fan was handed a baseball signed by Baez.
