The kids are all right: Young fan wins scuffle for flying bat, gifts his nemesis a spare souvenir

What's wrong with kids these days? Absolutely nothing, if you were watching Monday's Nationals-Astros game.

Nats outfielder Micah Owings accidentally let his bat fly into the stands during Grapefruit League action in Kissimmee, Fla., and two boys wrestled over the piece of lumber. The young fan who eventually won the souvenir then traded it for a ball and a different bat -- and kindly gave the ball to his former foe.

Excellent work, fine sirs.
