This thing took off at the end of the day today regarding a Cubs fan named Kolt who is nine years old get rewarded with tickets against St. Louis Cardinals for his hard work on the farm and on the baseball diamond. As you know, I’m not a Cubs fan, nor like the team, but man, if this did not make me tear up a little bit and make me feel a little bit better about the world. This is such a special moment. The pure tears of joy say it all for me about how happy he’s going to Wrigley.

What makes social media cool sometimes is Cubs saw this immediately and put into hyper drive. National League MVP Kris Bryant sent out a tweet saying how he’s excited to see him, and it appears they’re going to roll out the red carpet for him. I love that. It shows you that social media is not always a cruel place, rather, a place where they can turn a kid’s happiness into something bigger.

Can't wait to see you Kolt! https://t.co/86rcxatYub

Also, it’s worth saying good for the family and Kolt for doing all of his work then agreeing to the next project without even knowing it. Lunch pail effort from him. We could all learn a lot from the youngster from Indiana.

Charlie.
