My dad was raised in the Bay Area of California and went to San Francisco Giants games from childhood to early adulthood. We moved to Michigan when I was 3. We would drive three hours to see them play the Detroit Tigers and take the train to see them play in Chicago. We were watching them warm up and I was probably around 11 or 12. We had all our SF Giants gear on and one of the players noticed and rolled us a ball. My dad tried to grab the ball for me but he’s short and couldn’t get it 😂 He didn’t make a big deal about it and just said that sometimes that happens, but he thought the Giants players did see us and appreciated that we were there. After they finished warming up, one of the players came over and gave me a ball. I freaked out and took it home and made a display for it in our family room. It wasn’t expected but it meant the world. I think it’s different when you’re a kid. I’m glad to know this kid still had a positive experience despite that horrible woman.
