A young Tigers fan gave another young fan a foul ball and it was the sweetest thing

One of the first rules we learned in our youth was that sharing is caring. Whether we followed through on that lesson is neither here nor there. But there is one young Tigers fan who not only knows this important rule, but got a strong reaction from the broadcast team and everyone else who witnessed it.
In the bottom of the ninth inning during the White Sox 6-3 win over the Tigers on Tuesday night, Jeimer Candelario hit a foul ball toward the left side of the field. It landed in the stands and a fan grabbed it. He gave it to a young Tigers fan, but that young Tigers fan didn't want it for himself, you see. He ran down the steps to give it to an even younger fan:

We know, it's the cutest thing ever. But it wasn't over. Later on, they shook hands out of respect:

Like the broadcasters said: I'm not crying, you're crying.
