I, among others, became enamored with the story of the young girl (I later discovered her name is Amelia) crying when the Blue Jays traded her favorite player, Brett Lawrie, to Oakland. As someone who knows the heartbreak of trades all too well (I will never forget you, David Freese!) I empathized with this poor girl. I also felt a little bad that her trauma was plastered all over the internet.

But sometimes a little heartbreak is necessary to achieve our dreams. You go girl!

what an amazing moment so cool and privileged to meet this lady
