Before big game, Correa celebrates fan's birthday

HOUSTON -- Carlos Correa turns 21 on Tuesday, but before he celebrated his own birthday, he made sure to commemorate a new friend's special day first.

On his way to the ballpark before Monday's 6-3 win, Correa stopped off at Houston Christian School, where he surprised Astros fan Neil Kerrigan, and wished him a happy 18th birthday.

Correa first met Kerrigan a few weeks ago when he was at Minute Maid Park to watch batting practice, as part of his birthday celebration. Correa asked Kerrigan, who is suffering from a brain tumor, when his actual birthday is.
