Videos of the incident went viral on social media, and the incident became a topic of conversation among fans and sports media.

After the scene, a stadium employee approached little Lincoln, who looked dejected after the incident, to give him a gift bag and ask if he was okay . The gesture received a standing ovation from the stands.
