Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is one of the most popular players in the Windy City, and even though he wasn’t physically present when a young Cubs fan opened a pack of baseball cards, he still managed to make a little boy’s day.
In a video posted on Twitter and shared by Bryant, young Eli opens up a pack of Topps baseball stickers, and when he sees that his pack contains a sticker of his favorite Cubs player, he is overcome with emotion:
The young fan is seen tearing up at the surprise in a moment that reminds many how important sports are for children. Little Eli is a great reminder of just how awesome sports can be if looked at with the right attitude.
