Max Quinn, a Cleveland Guardians fan, had his life turned upside down when he snatched a home run ball from an 11-year-old, Evelyn, when his team clashed with the Tampa Bay Rays at Progressive Field on Monday, April 27. In a matter of hours, Quinn went from complete anonymity to public enemy number one for baseball enthusiasts, who called him everything from “pathetic” to “greedy.” Seeing no end to the harassment, Quinn decided to face the controversy head-on, appearing in an interview where he addressed his critics, as well as the little girl at the center of the story.
