After a SunTrust Park security guard confiscated a baseball from a boy during Wednesday night's game, Braves officials contacted the boy's family and gave him a Freddie Freeman-signed ball. The boy was also invited back to a game to celebrate his birthday in July.

The security guard took the ball because the man who was with the boy interfered with a live play in order to bring the ball into the stands. When security personnel came down the aisle to eject the man from the stadium, he also told the boy that he couldn’t keep the ball he was holding, then took it from him.

There was plenty of reaction on Twitter to the incident Wednesday night, from media and fans who watched it unfold on their televisions.
