Michael Chavis made a little bit of personal history Monday night, and he has a keepsake as a result.
The Boston Red Sox infielder capped a five-run first inning against the Toronto Blue Jays with a grand slam, the first of his big league career. The Red Sox ultimately won 10-8.
Chavis’ blast was great to watch, but his plan for the ball is even better. The fan who got the ball gave it back to the team so Chavis could have it, and the 23-year-old intends to give it to his mother.
Nice.
Of course, Chavis’ mom got a little bit of internet attention when cameras caught her reaction to watching her son hit his first career homer back in April.
