Bruce Carrier of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is one happy and proud grandfather. Last week, Carrier’s grandson, Felix, presented him with the game ball after hitting his very first home-run. In the viral video posted by Felix’s mom, the boy is seen approaching Mr. Carrier and saying “So you know I got two home runs right? I signed the ball for you and it says ‘Papa I love you’.” “Why did you do that?” Carrier asks amid tears. Without hesitation, the 9-year-old replied, “Because you taught me everything about baseball.” The emotional moment has gained a lot of attention nationally. The video that was posted on IG currently has over 400,000 likes. Felix’s mom Melissa says she never expected the moment to go viral. She adds that her dad has always played a big part in Felix’s life.
