Astros fan wears A's shirt to get baseball, then reveals true colors

I'm all about kids catching foul balls. As a matter of fact, my favorite unwritten rule is adult baseball fans (unless you catch Barry Bonds' 763rd career home run) should always give the ball to kids.

But then there's this youngster who, during the Houston Astros' 4-2 win over the A's on Wednesday, showed you should do everything in your power to get what you want. In this case, that meant showing your loyalties with a touch of betrayal.

The NBC Sports California broadcast team heard there were some "shenanigans" going on between a trio of Astros fans in the seats, and it turns out they were right. 

A young fan sporting an A's shirsey grabbed a souvenir ball from a member of the A's, then he turned around, took off the green and gold to reveal he was WEARING AN ASTROS SHIRT UNDERNEATH IT.

To add to the savagery, he threw down the A's shirt and ran back to his seat with the other young fans who appeared to be impressed with the entire scene.

Oh, and the A's were upset about it, too.

The kid probably could have snagged the ball while wearing Astros colors, but he wanted to make sure the visiting team noticed the A's colors -- I get that.

This goes to show you can't trust anyone, but at the same time I kind of respect it.
