A friend sent a link to this heart-warming story about the youngest person to play professional baseball, Joe Louis Reliford.

There it was, it’s almost too unbelievable to be real: A five-foot, 12-year-old child standing in against a six-foot, 24-year-old man named Curtis White. The crowd was on edge, happy they got what they wanted and excited for whatever might happen next.
