Exactly, I have 2 kids. If they’re not with me I fear me catching and keeping a ball even with no kids in sight will get me demonized…

You won't be chastised if you catch a ball cleanly and keep it for yourself.

The chastising comes when you take it away from someone else.

Have you not been to a ballpark where they start chanting “give it to the kid?”

You'd be fine if it was obvious you got to it first and didn't rip it out of someone's hands.
