A young D-backs fan had the best reaction to Paul Goldschmidt signing a baseball

Paul Goldschmidt is off to a fantastic start to the 2017 season, as entering play on Thursday, he had 17 homers and led the Majors with a .446 on-base percentage. The D-backs' strong position in the NL West race is no accident.
A few grateful D-backs fans at Coors Field were lucky enough to have Goldschmidt sign a few baseballs for them prior to the team's Thursday afternoon game against the Rockies, and one was absolutely blown away to meet her hero.

There aren't too many feelings better than that.
Goldschmidt rewarded her with another terrific game at the plate, too. He led the D-backs to a 10-3 win with a 3-for-5 performance and his 18th homer of the season to help cap a 7-1 road trip:
