Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryan Pressly made an 11-year-old boy's day when he surprised him during a front yard catch session. Blake Foley, a passionate Astros fan, was playing catch with his mom when Pressly, who lives nearby, saw them and joined in.
Blake was initially surprised and nervous but quickly became more comfortable throwing with the MLB All-Star. He spent several minutes playing catch with the boy, even letting him take a swing at a couple of pitches with a wiffle ball.
His mother, Hope, was thrilled by Pressly's gesture and praised him for spending time with a young fan. While Blake still loves playing catch with his mom, he admitted that if given the chance, he'd choose to play with an MLB player every time.
