While I'm sure it's happened before, this is the first time I've seen a player playing catch with a fan during a game. That's a memory that will never be forgotten!

[aaronmiller]

Simple game of catch will be a lifetime memory for that kid. How cool

[BOOSETO]

A minute of his time, a lifetime memory for the lad!

[MrWayne-iuvb]

Mookie is a real one for this. Shout out to him for showing respect to his fans! I can only imagine the memories this made for this kid. Good shit!

[SnazzyZubloids]

This is what sports is supposed to be about. No drama, just happy fans and players interacting.

[adrianfillmore]

Mookie is a class act. One of my favorite players.

[goforit-wpbd]

That player absolutely gets
Hats off to the that MLB Player

Took just a few minutes for the outfielder to give a lasting memory to a kid. Respect!

[IrisMichelle]

That kid will NEVER forget that. Taking just a few minutes to give someone your time can be priceless and life-changing!!

This man is not just a athlete. He’s an entertainer. Something that is lost on most sports figures today. The only one I can think is Shaq with kids . He goes out of his way to give them a lifetime experience when he meets them. He doesn’t turn away a fan especially young ones.

For some strange reason, this interaction brought tears to my eyes. I don’t know how often this happens but it’s my first time seeing it. I love to see people who are willing to uplift children and take their time doing so

[NicklePickle]

That kids got a great arm! Im so happy that his family caught it on film & shared it with all of us. Now, it's not only a memory that he has, its memorialized on the internet for all eternity! How cool!

[lindagunn]

Mookie is such a pro. He hit the kid in the glove with every throw. Nobody was ever in danger. What a professional

[PatRyan-cz]

This is something I wish players did more of when I was his age. That's a memory he'll never forget.

MOOKIE IS 1 OF THE BEST...A CLASS ACT ALL THE WAY&AN ACT OF CLASS...

[deviousredneck]

Be grateful to your fans no matter how popular you get. They're the ones who made you that way.

[gshute]

He just got a fan for life and says a lot about him just awesome 😊

[Glum]

I love players who do this. Keep the game fun for American kids!

[taylorjoshd]

This is why baseball is my favorite sport

[davidca]

Players werent allowed to interact this much with fans back when I was a kid, youd be lucky to get a smile or thumbs up. I love seeing this it brings the fans closer to the love of the game and shows the human side of the players.
