Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez is not exactly known for his softer side. It was Gomez who exchanged words with Gerrit Cole last weekend, sparking a brawl between the Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates. Last season, he started another brawl by pimping a home run and infuriating the Atlanta Braves. Don’t tell that to the young girl who wept tears of joy when Gomez gave her a hug on Sunday.
Gomez was signing some autographs before the game when a young fan waved to him. He leaned over to give her a hug, and the girl was so overwhelmed she began to cry. Gomez then gave her another hug before walking away.
So what if the guy once pimped a home run while his team was down 15-0? He just changed that girl’s life.
