Young cancer patient, Chloe Grimes, met Tampa Bay Rays right fielder Brett Phillips before the game Tuesday against the Oakland A’s in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Phillips was so inspired by Chloe, he would hit his first home-run of the season helping the Rays to victory 9–8.
On her second bout with cancer, Chloe would give her bracelet to Phillips before the game, as the two shared well-wishes.
When asked who her favorite player is, Chloe confirmed that it was Phillips. “He has the best smile. He’s always having fun, and I like how he does his airplane,” Chloe said.
“We’re also thankful for the Tampa Bay Rays,” added her mother. “They were there the first time (when Chloe had cancer).”
