Hearts of gold

Last Thursday, following a FSL game between the Charlotte Stone Crabs and Dunedin Blue Jays, Colin gave one of the foul balls he collected that night to the father of Kevin Ahrens, a third-baseman for the D-Jays.

The father, in town from Houston for the weekend to watch his son play, was very appreciative, as his own efforts to collect one that night went for naught. I must admit, too, in a tremendous feeling of pride as I watched Colin make that dad's day.

I guess that's why I teared up this morning after reading this St. Petersburg Times story about another young fan's act of generosity.
