Julio Rodriguez is a class act. This kid will remember that small interaction for the rest of his life.

You are 100% correct. On my birthday, over 50 years ago now, Hammerin’ Hank Aaron signed a ball for me. It says “Happy Birthday Laurence, Hank Aaron.” I still remember that like it was yesterday. (And I still have that ball, of course!!) Wish I’d been born on April 8th instead of April 9th. Then I’d have been there for his 715th! Oh well. 😂

Not wrong! George Brett @georgebrett signed a ball for me when I turned 10 at Kaufmann. I've told the story a billion times since. Thank you sir!

1 thing I give baseball players is the fan interaction. Might be the best in all of sports

Awesome stuff!

I seen Rodriguez do the same when he was in Baltimore. That’s what baseball all about

All players should take time to interact with kids at the game.

My son had a similar moment he'll definitely never forget!

This is just one reason that baseball is the best. 🇺🇸

Love! Reminds me of going to a Guardians game about 10 years ago and Mike Napoli rolled a ball off the back of the dugout for my son who never got even close to a game ball. The stadium was nearly empty and the usher and fans rooted Napoli on and he came through!

That's AWESOME! All athletes should be like that!
