Okay okay, the title of the post is a little bit misleading but Boston Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett did make a young fan cry before Thursday afternoon’s game versus the Kansas City Royals.

Of course, it was tears of joy for the young fan who received a ball from Beckett as he was coming in from the dugout before making the start.

Be sure to check out the young fan’s interview on NESN Daily as he explains what was going on in his mind when this happened.
