During Tuesday night's Detroit Tigers game, Travis Blackwell started what he called a "line of awesomeness."
When a foul ball flew into the stands, his dad caught it and tossed it to Blackwell. The 10-year-old then ran down to the row of seats where Michael Ogden, 7, was sitting with his family. Blackwell handed the ball to Ogden, because "I wanted to make his day," he told CBS News. Ogden was there celebrating his birthday, and grinned from ear to ear. He then went up to where Blackwell was sitting, and shook his hand.
