WOW Cleveland fans you guys are pretty cool for asking the kid for his autograph. Respect.

[@Baer_Dev]

I am an Indians fan, and Buckeyes, and Browns fan, Just The Ohio State Buckeyes, Cleveland Browns, and the Indians have the most royal fans in sports, so respectful

[@DarianCaplinger]

What an amazing reception, not just from the team and organization, but by the fans. These stories are so touching, and I love how they make the stories about the kids so heroic. The pain some of these kids face is worse than many of us could possibly imagine. I hope this boy is doing well today.

[@mberry55]

these are just classy guys and a classy baseball team...my goodness

[@theguz1983]

I love all of the My Wish pieces ESPN has done over the years, but this one is still my favorite.

[@Bedoe-]

really puts things into perspective. How somebody who is going through adversity and hardships can be so positive and happy. Really heartwarming

[@BitterBosh]

Damn, props to the Indians, they did an unbelievable job for the kid & his family.

[@T0NY_S0PRAN0_86]

This made me tear up no lie.. keep fighting the fight kid.. God bless you and GO TRIBE !!!!!!!!!!

[@scottparsons2031]

[@Meeper27]

Along with Grady and Victor, I also saw Casey Blake and Jamey Carroll in the video. All of them seem like classy guys- glad the Indians had them. John Adams is a great guy- I remember he let one of my classmates bang his drum when my 8th. Grade class went to the Jake for a field trip. Go Tribe! Go Alonso!

[@cxlonts404040]

So cool how people asked for his autograph, stay classy Cleveland

[@jsnzk]

My nephew was born with partial heart and in backward. As an newborn he had a couple open heart surgery and later as a toddler due to arteries not connected to the lungs correctly. Not expected to live a long life. around the age of 7 MAKE A WISH brought him to the Cleveland Indians and he met his favorite player. My nephew continue to have difficulties and further surgeries (a total of 6 open hearts) He was put on the list for a transplant at the age of 19 a few months later he became severely compromised and was admitted to the 'Cleveland Clinic. He knew he would be there until he got a heart or die. His grandmother learned that his favorite player (no longer with the Indians) was returning to play against Cleveland --She wrote to the Cleveland Indians and reminded them what happened about 12 yrs previously. I don't remember the players name, however; he remembered him and called at the Cleveland Clinic, I saw my nephew the day after with a huge smile on his face, One month later a heart was available and after about a couple months of his body getting use to a full working heart he was discharged He is currently doing very well and I am still Thankful to MAKE A WISH and the Cleveland Indian team;

[@jsnzk]

He had the heart transplant a month later after the call. This was about 7 years ago now

[@superiorrealty8023]
