      Super exciting event for you guys especially for Houston. You’re right, he won’t forget. When I was a youngster, Willie Mays was having dinner with our neighbors down the street as they were good friends, and he came out and gave us all autographs. He was super nice, very humble.. I gave the autograph to my cousin for his birthday and he’s over 60 years old now and he still has it of course. Rest in peace, Willie.

    As someone who was blessed to grow up living 15 minutes from the Oakland A's and being able to go to 30 + games a year (I miss those old bleacher seats), it brings joy to my heart when someone who has never been to a Major League game gets to go for the first time.
    Being able to go on the field is always a wonderful memory. Great memories for you and Houston that will be with you forever.
    Dallas isn't that far from you, so a Rangers game could be your next memory to cherish.

    What a cool experience for Houston! You’re right, he will never forget that. To his credit, he looked totally poised & unflustered which some adults wouldn’t have been able to do!! Great job Houston!

    Wonderful experience, Houston! Spending that time with your dad is the best! Too bad Colby couldn't have traveled with you!
