The video you see above made its way around the internet in recent days, and had even been sent to us by a handful of tipsters. All we knew was what we saw: A ballgirl at Wrigley Field filling out a note and handing it to a ballpark attendant. Naturally, an expert (read: Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly) speculated that the girl was trying to give her number to a player—perhaps even a Braves pitcher, since her seat is so close to the visitors' bullpen.
Incredibly, it turns out Brenly was wrong. ESPN's Sarah Spain got to the bottom of it:
Update in #Cubs ballgirl-gate! A fan in the crowd asked 4 her # & she wrote him a (polite, I assume) note: "Thx but no thx." #mysterysolved

That settles that.
