Watch a young Phillies fan graciously gift his foul ball to another kid during Wednesday night's game

The Phillies may have lost 7-2 against the Dodgers Wednesday night, but it wasn’t all bad — thanks to an adorable moment between two young fans that was caught on camera

An adorable moment of generosity caught on camera involving two young fans and a foul ball created buzz on the internet and a welcome distraction to the Phillies 7-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.

The game at Citizens Bank Park was interrupted in the top of the third inning by a 2-hour 37-minute rain delay, with the Dodgers leading the Phillies 1-0. So, it was already after 11 p.m. when, in the top of the fifth inning, Dodgers infielder David Freese popped a foul into a section of mostly empty seats along the first baseline.

The NBC Sports Philadelphia camera followed the path of the baseball into the stands and showed a boy in a red Phillies shirt scrambling up the aisle to retrieve it from underneath a row of empty blue seats, to which fans had never returned after the storm.

In one continuous motion, the boy picked up the ball, turned around, and as he saw the other boy in a blue shirt with a baseball glove approaching, handed him the ball. Just like that. Just because.

And it gets sweeter — as the two walk back to their seats, the second boy turns to the boy who gave him the ball and gives him a hug. (It’s fine. Everything’s fine. Please excuse me while I go cry a river.)

In a world where middle-aged men sometimes fight over foul balls — or even take foul balls from children (Why?) — it’s always nice to see two kids showing that kind of mutual respect.

The brotherly love moment quickly took off and began trending on Twitter. It wasn’t just the feel-good moment of the game, but it may be one of the sweetest moments in baseball in recent memory. It gave a lot of people “the feels,” and many were applauding the young boy’s generosity.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

‘that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ‘

Romans 10:9
