An adorable Los Angeles Dodgers fan caught Manny Machado’s home run ball in Game 2 of the NLDS on Friday night and then got to meet the slugger afterwards. The best part is it all took place on the youngster’s birthday.
Here’s a look at young fan Donovan catching Machado’s home run in the first inning:

Does a birthday get much better than that?
