Tweet Gets Cincinnati Reds Brandon Phillips to Attend Little League Game

Published May 20, 2011

One Ohio little leaguer got a big league surprise during his game.

Cincinnati Reds All-Star Brandon Phillips showed up to a little league baseball game Thursday night after 14-year-old Connor Echols tweeted him, asking him to come.

"I said, 'Let me think about this.' His game was at 6:15. When I got finished eating, it was like 6:10 and I thought, well shoot, I'm going to go to his game. I had nothing else to do. I thought, 'Let me go out and support the little man.' I went out there and he had a great game. I met all his teammates. I met everybody in the park. It was fun. I had a great time," Phillips told the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Echols was shocked seeing the Reds second baseman at the game.

"Never in a thousand years did I think he would come," he told the paper.

The rest of the story is here:

And to think I forgot to draft him in our fantasy league. :banghead: :o

Again, mega kudos to Brandon Phillips. :cheersmate:
