It all started at a baseball game in June at Miller Park. Jeremy Jeffress, the All-Star Milwaukee Brewers right-hander, was visiting with a group of fans when he noticed a little boy crying in the stands near the field. After a quick conversation, Jeffress understood that the little boy (Owen) had forgotten to bring a glove that day to the game.
Without hesitation, the 30-year-old handed the 4-year-old Owen his glove. The crying stopped and a moment that will be remembered for a lifetime was made.
But the memory wasn’t just made with Owen. It was also made with Owen’s young sister (Bri), mom and grandparents, all of whom had driven up from Chicago for the game.
