Player visits fan in hospital

Don't think anyone done this one yet:

John Doe lined a foul ball down the firstbase line into the stands during the game yesterday (or date) v.s. (team name - could include specific inning and pitcher who was on the mound? Not sure of your coding capabilities). The fan, a young boy named Tim Jones who was at the game with his father as a Birthday gift, didn't have enough time to hold his glove up and was hit in the head with the ball. Tim was quickly attended to and taken to the local Hospital where Doctors diagnosed a mild concussion. Tim, who was being held overnight for precautionary reasons, was pleasantly surprised when he was visited by John Doe who brought an autographed bat and baseball signed by the whole team. John said he felt horrible when he saw the ball strike Tim and he was clearly affected by it the rest of the game.

"The least I could do was come out and make sure Tim was doing OK and to bring him some goodies. I hope there's no hard feelings." Before leaving John surprised Tim with one last gift, four tickets to a future game in his Suite, where hopefully Tim will be a little safer from foul balls.

Reaction: Fans love John Doe for his personal outreach - bump in popularity
