In our never-ending quest to bring you stories that prove the goodness of humankind, made manifest through sports, ViralRead has found our favorite tear-jerking moment of the year (well if not our favorite it’s at least neck and neck with little Jack Hoffman scoring a touchdown for the Huskers). Seriously - bust out the kleenex and wait for your lower lip to start trembling uncontrollably. The Los Angeles Dodgers‘ Matt Kemp is about to remind us that sports can mean so much more than the game itself:

The fan is 19-year-old Joshua Jones who has been battling brain cancer for three years. Tommy Schultz, a friend who joined Jones at the game and later posted the video, wrote of Kemp’s gesture, “He came over after the game and made one of my best friends night. He’s fighting a tough battle and this was such a great gift by Matt Kemp! I’ll never forget this.”

And neither will the nearly one million people who’ve viewed the now viral video on YouTube.
