Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado surprised an Atlanta-based Orioles fan this week with tickets to a game against the Atlanta Braves.

Machado sent a video message to Atlanta resident J.J. Roddenberry for his 14th birthday asking him to come hang out with the team and attend a game at SunTrust Park Sunday afternoon as the Braves host the Baltimore Orioles.

Roddenberry’s tearful reaction to attending the game and message from Machado can be watched below:
