Player signs jersey for teen; man steals it when thrown back

Humans are selfish creatures. This fact was emphasized at the last Pittsburgh Penguins game of the current regular season, when a man stole a teen's Penguins jersey.

Brian Burger, 14, had thrown his jersey to team captain Sidney Crosby. Crosby signed the jersey, and threw it back. Then a man stepped in, grabbed it, and ran off.
"He signed my jersey, he threw it. I was about to catch it, and some guy took it and ran away."

The jersey was worth $200. While some humans are selfish however, some are not. The Penguins and Crosby heard about Burger's loss. On Monday, a local news reporter from WTAE Channel 4 presented him with a new Crosby jersey, autographed by Crosby himself.
