Community Picks: LAA Angels 0% vs Milwaukee Brewers 0%

  When you're a kid, one of the first things you learn to do with a ball is to throw it. From the time you're a toddler scooting around on the floor, grown-ups give you a ball and tell you to throw it back to them. But no one ever tells kids that they're not supposed to do that at a baseball game. That's what happened to a young Texas Rangers fan on Sunday when the Rangers played the Los Angeles Angels. In the bottom of the fourth inning, first baseman Mitch Moreland hit a ball toward the foul pole in right field that looked - and sounded - like it might have been out of the park. It hooked just foul, though, and landed in the front row of the upper deck where a father and daughter were sitting.  [ Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball contest now ] The two of them started searching for the ball, which had bounced off the railing and landed on the floor. After a few seconds, the young girl comes up with it, holding the ball above her head triumphantly. It's a great moment! And then, just milliseconds after she holds up the ball in triumph, her arm starts to move forward. Her father can't do anything to stop what happens next. His daughter, acting on years of teaching, throws the ball back.  That young Rangers fan and her father join many other parents and children who have gone through the same thing at baseball games. At a Phillies game in 2009, an adorable toddler threw back a foul ball that her father gave her to play with. In 2014, a young fan threw back a Derek Jeter foul ball, though her father did get it back in the end. That adorable Rangers fan didn't get her ball back, but she did get an autographed ball to make up for it, which isn't a bad trade-off. It's hard to blame any kid who throws back a foul ball, especially at a game where they see baseballs being thrown constantly. It's what they were taught to do!  More MLB coverage from Yahoo Sports:   The StewPod: A baseball podcast by Yahoo Sports Subscribe via iTunes or via RSS feed - - - - - - Liz Roscher is a writer for Big League Stew on Yahoo Sports.

When they last met the Texas Rangers in October, Jose Bautista capped the Toronto Blue Jays' comeback victory with the bat flip heard 'round North America. The Rangers were clearly angered by that celebration to the shot that cost them the AL division series and it remains to be seen whether they'll seek retribution. All eyes figure to be on Bautista's first at-bat Monday night when Texas tries to deal Toronto its longest home slide in two years in the opener of a four-game series. Continue to Article

The last time the Milwaukee Brewers reached the postseason, Ron Roenicke guided them to their first NL Championship Series appearance in 29 years. One day shy of the one-year anniversary of his firing, Roenicke may have some mixed emotions when he returns to Miller Park for the first time Monday night. Roenicke made an impression during his first season as Milwaukee's manager in 2011, leading the club to a franchise-best 96-66 record while becoming only the fourth Brewers skipper to have a winning mark in his first full season.
