Miguel Cabrera Makes 11-Year-Old Boy The Luckiest Baseball Fan Ever [VIDEO]
Dominic Opron is one lucky, little baseball fan. Something happened to the 11-year-old at Tuesday night's Detroit Tigers game in Cleveland that he's going to be talking about for the rest of his life.
Dominic not only swiped a foul ball using his hat, but he made a new best friend -- Miguel Cabrera.
Clad in Indians gear, Dominic was sitting in the front row just feet away from Cabrera at first base.
"He looked bored at first so I yelled 'Hey Miggy, I got your back' and then he smiles over me," Dominic told Stoney from 97.1 The Ticket, who was at the game with his daughter.
Dominic would get the chance to put his money where his mouth was in the fifth inning.
"And then, so the pitcher throws the pitch and Kipnis hits a chopper right to me," Dominic said, "and it was hopping and hopping, and I just grab my hat and I just swipe it and I pick it right up and then I tell Miggy, 'Miggy, I got your back, I told you!'"
Cabrera, who was clearly having a good time with Dominic, then did just about the coolest thing ever.
"He said 'Wait a minute, wait a minute' and then he went and go got his bat, his gloves and he gave me all this stuff."
Dominic's favorite player used to be Carlos Santana -- but not anymore.
"It's all Miggy," he said.
The Tigers went on to beat the Indians 7-3.
