Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius recently made a diehard fan’s day

Philadelphia Phillies star infielder Didi Gregorius is more than just a slugger and above-average player at shortstop. He is also a great guy at heart.

This past Tuesday, in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox, the 30-year old drove a 91 miles per hour four-seam fastball on an 0-2 count to the right-center field seats at Citizens Bank Park.

While the solo home run ball gave the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning, setting up the 6-5 victory, it particularly drew the attention of a diehard fan Michael — whose cutout was hit.
