Champ has Down syndrome and Pujols is his favorite player. Earlier this year, Pujols gave him a signed jersey and the two have become fast friends. This was a truly great moment.

best part of the night ... I spent many years of my life hating Pujols (in a respectful way), but I must say, he made me a fan last night
Just awesome.
