So for the Fourth of July weekend, Major League Baseball held a momentous United States military tribute. They played a regular season game between the Miami Marlins and the Atlanta Braves at — get this — Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Yes, the famous U.S. Army installation (and largest base in America). Both the baseball players association and the league itself pitched in to build the field on location — a 12,500-capacity park that will be used for such events for years to come.

Greatest of all, tickets for the game were exclusively designated for the fort’s troops, families, veterans and civilian employees. It was for those who serve — that’s it and that’s all.

However, during the game, an infamous and self-proclaimed “ball hawk” (a grown man who goes to MLB stadiums and begs for the players to toss him the ball) posted the following tweet to his feed, and both ignited a fire on a proverbial sea of gasoline:

To which the soldiers running the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division Twitter account so wisely replied:

Unfortunately, he didn’t. But he did apologize a few days later. Apparently, he got the ticket by offering a grand on Tinder, of all places.

Marlins won by the way, 5-2 (the Braves stink).
