Boy stages epic tantrum at baseball

If there was an Oscar for most effective tantrum, this kid would be favourite to take out the prize.

His stunning performance was delivered during Thursday night's baseball extravaganza between the L.A. Dodgers and Team Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Aussie outfielder Luke Hughes attempted to toss the ball to the boy but it fell short and had to be retrieved by a security guard.

But the guard did the unthinkable and passed it on to the wrong boy.

Cue tantrum.

It starts off small and grows to a performance of epic proportions - which is understandable given his age and the prized momento he almost had his paws on.

But in a great show of sportsmanship from the other youngster, the boy quickly handed the prize over to its rightful owner and the tantrum stopped as quickly as it started.
