0:23 Dad giving his son a hug and then you can read his lips saying, “I’m so proud of you.” Makes me tear up both as a son missing my dad and as a dad thinking of how proud I am of my son.
I love this clips. Players are never too far removed from when they were those kids in the stands. Those are memories that stay for life. My respect to all those players. 🤜👍
not to mention dee is a left handed hitter, and when he hit the homerun for José he was batting right handed, which is the way José batted. first pitch, first homerun of the season. this dude is a blessing to the world of sports.
He overcame his mother getting killed in a domestic dispute to become a major league ball player he’s mentally one of the strongest players in the game
This video is better than a video of the best catches/hits in baseball. It shows warmth and character. It reminds me of a game in Houston when the Cub's Albert Almora Jr. hit a foul ball into the stands and and the ball hit a young boy. It seriously injured the kid, who spent several days in the hospital. Almora was devastated... he stood by the boy at the stadium and visited him daily while the Cubs were in town. He also gave the kid an autographed team picture and a bat and ball, both autograph and made sure the hospital/Doctor bills were paid.. This incident was responsible for MLB extending the fences in stadiums, but it deeply affected Almora. He broke into tears on national TV after the game. It showed Albert's depth of character and made him one of my favorite players of all time.
I remember a weekend in Cleveland, Orioles playing Indians. I got to talk with a man I looked up to. Brooks Robinson. He took the time to just talk. We had fun. I will never forget this man or the time he took out of his days there to be friendly to a young man he did not even know.
1:45 That kid is going places. That would be awesome if they lived fairly close and remained friends, then ended up getting married someday. All because of a baseball that he selflessly gave to her that started the interaction. Even his mom seems really shocked.
Children don’t give a crap about the politics and business of baseball/sports. All they know is these guys are their hero’s and aspire to be like them. It’s a shame that’s lost as we get older.
@Tyler Robbins Coming into the comment section of video outlining positivity to talk shit to someone you’ve never met while sitting behind the keyboard, “literally”, shows how much of a classless, immature, troll you really are. I genuinely hope you have a great day. Cheers.
It really takes very little for these players to brighten the day or year of so many of their fans. If most of them would just not be so arrogant and ignorant and just take a few minutes to sign autos or greet these kids, it would not only make the kids happy but they don’t realize it just might make themselves feel better too. And then we all win!
In the last clip that guy in yellow should've got something too after taking that hit like a champ. Get him a beer or a freaking flack jacket to protect them ribs.
I haven't got a clue what I am looking at. Nike once had an ad that said: "Don't like baseball, move to Norway", I guess they were right. *BUT* I've got a big smile on my face all through the video, reminding me what sport is really about.
dude, a few years ago my then 84 year old grandma got hit by a car and tried to refuse medical care. she was bruised up, but no broken bones. she's 88 now and still with us.
Always wanted to go a m/l final , it's always such a great atmosphere at the big game but as live in New Zealand guess it will never happen before I hit my final ball .
The kid who gave a hug to the other after getting the ball made me smile so big. Thats was so cool
whos cutting onions

Dee Gordon is such a amazing man!
True he is the best man

Bruh that guy in the yellow tank top at the end got the worse end of that deal
got sidelined and got nothing in return for it lol
how many times you think he told that story
Ron Washington hitting balls to the college student to help his backhand. Solid!
It's not that hard, kid. Tell him, Wash!
Man shout out Dee Gordon. He is truly one of the best dudes in the big leagues and just a genuinely good human being
the last one is so funny because yes he ran into the kid but I didn't even see him speak to the man in yellow he just absolutely BODIED lmaoooo
THIS is what sports lack these days.
I love this more than anything.
Thank you for making this compilation 🙏🏻 brought a a guy to tears

i wish i was a sports celebrity so i can make people's lives as happy as the young boy in the first vid.
Make your own opportunities in your community my friend. You're just as important and amazing as these players. 🍻
2:26 Can never get tired of watching that. What a cool dude
1:45 That kid is going places. That would be awesome if they lived fairly close and remained friends, then ended up getting married someday. All because of a baseball that he selflessly gave to her that started the interaction. Even his mom seems really shocked.
You my friend are a true romantic
Not selflessly..
If your kid played baseball, watching the father’s reaction really hits you

So here I am, a 6’ tall, tattoo sleeves, bearded, OEF 6 combat veteran and this shit chokes me up every time. Lol. There’s hope for humanity.
Thank you for your service, Kyle !!!.

You have tattoos?? That’s so cool!!
0:35 some say his hand is still hanging there to this very day
I was looking for this comment 😂🤣
Here was there too for that last one, totally would have caught it if not for all those hands.

It's not about the objects we obtain but the memories we make
Love this these kids remeber these moements for the rest of their lives.
how cool of Austin to play catch with that young man
Kids at ballgames. So wholesome!
Had to pause it to keep the tears from running over.
That elderly lady that got hit...they don't make them like that anymore :)
I love how the dude in yellow gets wrecked and no one cares
Austin Meadows playing catch was my favorite
The one kid in the seahawks hoodie at 3:54 gets his arm plowed off too. At the end he looks like "no ball? but you just shattered my humerus"
This is why I love the game.
This is why baseball is America’s sport.

0:33 left him hanging lol
ha. noticed that too. felt bad for him.
1:54 Mama teach him how to work it young lol
PIRATES FAN BTW: Greg Brown- And Austin Meadows will be that kids idol.... 6 days later gets traded
Zip It was priceless 👍🔥❤️
I don’t care what people say, the Marlins Park looked cool before Jeter changed everything
at 2:03 i like that how the baseball play catch with a kid
Baseball is the best sport on Earth. ⚾️🇺🇸
God, I love baseball!

And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
Somebody please tell me they saw the dude in yellow get rammed 😂! Ouch!
"Um..can you have robbie cano sign this?"
Is that Brandon Nimmo @1:53?
This is what baseball is all about
Baseball is the best!
The elderly lady tougher than this current generation put together!
Amen. Millennials would have an attorney and a therapist on tap.
dude, a few years ago my then 84 year old grandma got hit by a car and tried to refuse medical care. she was bruised up, but no broken bones. she's 88 now and still with us.
Dad 👁 see you 🤐 it
🤣🤣😂😂
LOL COOL MAN
3:54 the yellow guy gets crushed and the little kids get the ball
Baseball is the greatest sport
0:33 DENIED!
Thank goodness the last one didn’t really hit the little ones
3:52 player interference
America’s 🇺🇸 pastime
Always wanted to go a m/l final , it's always such a great atmosphere at the big game but as live in New Zealand guess it will never happen before I hit my final ball .
This video is a crime and a shame. It's only 4 min. long..
Most players are class acts !!! Only a handful are scum bags !!
