Brett Lawrie takes young Blue Jays fan who cried when he was traded out for pizza

A couple weeks ago, the Toronto Blue Jays traded Brett Lawrie to the Oakland Athletics, and Amelia, a 6-year-old Blue Jays fan, was not pleased.

"That guy's gonna be too good," she cries in a YouTube video of her dad breaking news of the trade. "They're never gonna wanna trade back!"

On Friday, Lawrie did what he could to make Amelia feel a little bit better, surprising her with a visit at a local pizza place.
