Josh Donaldson shared a great moment with a young Mets fan after friendly heckling
Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson has been ridiculous against the Mets this season, hitting nearly .400 with nine home runs.
And he might have even converted a Mets fan into a Josh Donaldson fan.
During Sunday’s series finale between the Mets and Braves at Citi Field, Donaldson exchanged some friendly trash talk with a young Mets fan seated behind the on-deck circle. According to the Braves broadcast, Donaldson asked the fan to touch his bat for good luck. She declined and instead offered to touch the bat for “bad luck.”
Donaldson then stepped to the plate and hit a home run. But watch as he returned to the dugout.
Donaldson ran back towards that same fan and attempted to share a high-five with her, to which she pulled a “psych!” on the Braves infielder.
But hey, Donaldson managed to turn that already-funny moment into a truly cool memory for that fan. Between innings, Donaldson brought the fan an autographed bat and wrote, “To my biggest fan.”
He then hit another home run in the seventh inning. Maybe that fan is good luck after all.
