Update: We spoke too soon — according to a bunch of reports collected by Deadspin, the guy who appeared to snatch a baseball from a child had actually helped the kid get a ball earlier in the game and is not, in fact, a bad dude:

I spoke with people from the Cubs. The man who grabbed the ball on the widely seen video had actually already helped the little boy get a ball earlier. The young man has a game used ball and a Javy Baez ball. All is well. Guy is A-OK so let it go people.

Luckily, the Cubs noticed the situation and the kid ended up getting two baseballs — one signed by Cubs star Javy Baez:
