Meh, if there is a kid around you crying, you're just going to look REALLY bad. Not as bad as the little brat does for crying for literally no reason.

You don't have to but, if you feel like it, why not? The kid will appreciate it in a way you won't. You shouldn't feel obligated to, however. If that's the case and fans pressure you to do it, then it loses all value.

The easiest solution would be to hope that you don't sit near any kids.

If that's the case and fans pressure you to do it, then it loses all value. For me, it's because "they're a kid" or "they want it" is a terrible reason to do something. A child should learn that just because they want something, that doesn't mean they have the right to take it from its rightful owner.

A child should learn that just because they want something, that doesn't mean they have the right to take it from its rightful owner. I look at it as not them taking it but the person giving it. As I said, you should never feel obligated because that takes away from any value that the act of giving it imparts. I'd give it just because I feel it's the right thing to do. It makes me feel good that I'm secure enough in my life to give to others freely.

Meh, if there is a kid around you crying, you're just going to look REALLY bad. And? There's no rule saying you have to give it to a kid, crying or not. And besides,

Bring a kid with you, if possible. That way you can give him the ball and it still stays in the family. Or just do what everyone else said.

This is the plan.
Go to a game.
Catch a foul ball.
Give it to a kid.
... if you are not a local celebrity in 24 hours, with people saying how great a human being you are, and your legend starts to grow where you can cure lepers and make the homeless smell like french vanilla.... then you heel turn.
You go to more games.
You catch ALL the foul balls!
And you do it to spite all those ungrateful goddamn kids!
... it's your path to supervillainy!

Sure, why not. I'll probably just end up in my attic anyway. I have a hockey puck from a local hockey team from years ago just laying around the house. When I was a kid, it was awesome to have that puck, now it's just something to look at. If it's say a game winning home run in a play off or World Series game, than I'll probably keep it since it was an important moment. If it's a foul ball, I'll probably give it to a kid because I'know he'll appreciate it more than I will.
I would do the same thing at a wrestling show. If I ever caught Cena's shirt or hat he throws in the crowd, I'll give it to the first kid I see.

I am 49 years old and have never had a baseball hit near me. If that f***er comes near me, I am going for it. That dirty little ankle-biter can catch his own ball another day.

Wouldn't that make the shirt exchange awkward?

Meh, if there is a kid around you crying, you're just going to look REALLY bad. That's it! Wear a #Heel shirt and bleach your hair, that way you're in character when you crush the dreams of the child! When leaving say to the child 'HOW DAMN GOOD AM I?!' and laugh.

Be one of those guys who dives out of the way of the ball and let's it hit his girlfriend. Then grab the ball, shove down a kid and when they show you on the TitanTron, flip every off.

I mean, don't jerk the ball out of a kid's hand or anything, but I don't see anything wrong with keeping it if you caught it outright. Let the kid cry, they'll get over it. Don't be apart of the child worship epidemic.

To answer the question, it's yours. Nobody says you have to give the ball to anyone.
My personal response, find a child with a cute mom and just exchange the baseball for a kiss.

This is the main reason why I don't think I'll ever give a kid a foul ball. I'm less than half your age but I've also never had a ball hit near me, so I know the kid is gonna have to wait for their own shot too.
