What started out as a rough week turned much better for one Oakland A’s fan. A fan named Justin tweeted out on Monday that he had the coronavirus, stating that he thought his symptoms were just allergies or a cold before becoming increasingly worse. In his tweet showing him in a hospital bed, his A’s fandom was apparent from the cap on his head in his selfie.
This tweet eventually reached the A’s front office, getting the attention of A’s president Dave Kaval. In responce to Justin’s tweet, Kaval made an impressive offer – to throw out the first pitch for the A’s on Opening Day.
