It was one of the most talked about videos in sports this week. That’s right, the clip of Kolt Kyler, the 9-year-old Chicago Cubs fan, who was surprised with Cubs tickets (what will be his first game at Wrigley Field) while working on his family’s farm.

Not only will he attend the game on June 3 when his favorite team hosts the St. Louis Cardinals, but he will get some extra special treatment thanks to pitcher Jon Lester and first baseman Anthony Rizzo. Check out what Lester tweeted after seeing the heartwarming clip.
And Rizzo is offering Kyler batting practice passes.
This is awesome. When u come for the game Kolt I’ll have BP passes waiting for you. No better place to see the @Cubs then right on the field https://t.co/P7Ma2p4MUh
