Fan makes spectacular barehanded catch then gifts it to an adorable kid without hesitation

It's always fun to watch a fan make an impressive catch on a foul ball. A lot goes into making it the perfect grab -- and in one particular moment on Friday, a fan captured each and every one of those elements.
In the bottom of the fifth during the Cubs-Marlins game in Miami, Derek Dietrich sent a ball toward the right-field line, but it hooked foul. A fan made a stellar, barehanded grab on the ball, and his friend who was in attendance with him was very excited about the play:

While this was awesome in its own right, without hesitation, he climbed down the seats to the nearest young baseball fan and gifted him with a new souvenir:

Respect.
