Carson Kelly's gift a hit with young fan

June 12th, 2021

A kind gesture from D-backs catcher made one young fan’s night in Arizona and created one of the most indelible images of this season.

Kelly signed one of his bats and handed it to a young D-backs fan prior to Friday night’s game versus the Angels. But this souvenir clearly held special significance for the child, who was absolutely overcome with emotion as he stared upon his new piece of autographed memorabilia.

Arizona ultimately lost the game in extra innings, 6-5, and Kelly went 1-for-5. But it will always be a memorable night for one D-backs fan, thanks to what Kelly did before the first pitch was thrown.
