It is still Padres spring training and Fernando Tatis Jr. already has hit a home run with his fans.
Social media comments were wildly enthusiastic after the Padres posted a video of Tatis autographing the bald head of a San Diego cancer patient.
“I love him. Extend him to a lifetime contract,” posted Ryan.
“Build his statue,” noted Mike.
“Some moments are bigger baseball,” commented Gwenn.
“Beautiful stuff! I hope she gets well soon,” remarked Ben.
The unidentified woman in the posted video is Gina Grosso, a 35-year-old speech pathologist, who lives in Hillcrest and works in the Chula Vista Elementary School District.
