During Clayton Kershaw’s press conference after his first All-Star Game start on Tuesday night, a 10-year-old fan walked up to the pitcher to meet him.
This wasn’t just any fan meeting, though. Blake Grice introduced himself to Kershaw and expressed how it was always on his grandfather’s bucket list to meet the Dodgers pitcher. But his grandfather died of cancer and wasn’t able to complete this wish. So, his grandson made sure to fulfill the dream.
Kershaw got out of his seat to give Grice a hug and applaud him for his courage to come all the way to the front of the press room to share his story.
