CHICAGO — A 12-year-old girl’s dream of meeting her favorite baseball player came true this week, thanks to her new friend Alex Bregman.
Faith Kuhn met with the Astros third baseman earlier this year when he was visiting his hometown of Albuquerque. She told Bregman how much she loves Kris Bryant with the Chicago Cubs, so Bregman posted a video on Instagram to introduce the two.
Bryant was so moved by the video, he invited Faith and her family to Wrigley Field to watch a game.
Bryant played ball with Faith, who has undergone 15 surgeries for spina bifida.
He also gave Faith and her family a tour of the clubhouse and presented her with a personalized Cubs jersey.
Faith even got a FaceTime call from Bregman while she watched batting practice from the field.
