A Mariners fan classily reached out on Twitter to get Yordan Alvarez his ball after a cycle
Hey, this is a really nice thing to share!
A Seattle Mariners fan named Amy Franz was at T-Mobile Park on Sunday and caught a home run hit by Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez. It’s not the most noteworthy … until he hit a double in the eighth inning to complete the cycle.
So Franz used the power of social media to tell the Astros and Mariners that she wanted to give him the ball. Sure enough, Alvarez met up with her and gave her an autographed ball in thanks, despite the fact that she didn’t ask for anything in return.
Lovely!
Dear @astros @Mariners I have Yordan Alvarez Home Run Ball. It’s worth more to him than me being as he hit for the cycle. Please find a way for me to get it to him. pic.twitter.com/VQhLLVrJ0S

For those wondering, I was able to congratulate @astros Yordan and give him the piece of history that he earned. I did not ask for anything in return, but he made sure that I received an autographed ball to show his appreciation. Congrats Yordan, and thanks for the ball. pic.twitter.com/dwQVFEtYDY
