Houston Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel had a message for a heckler last week. So he decided to write it on a baseball and toss it to the fan.

It seems like Cincinnati Reds All-Star Brandon Phillips might have started a trend. Phillips wrote a message for a fan on a baseball back in June, except he referred to the fan as "drunk guy," thanked him and then told him to "shut the phuck up." It doesn't look like Keuchel took a selfie with his heckler though.
