Cancer Survivor Celebrates Opening Day With Dream Baseball Game Experience - Inspirational Videos

A young cancer survivor achieved his dream and celebrated Major League Baseball’s opening day with a dream experience with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Cancer, in any and every form, is a horrible disease. It does nothing but hurt and destroy. Hearing that you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer is a massive punch to the gut, immediately knocking out all the wind in your system. It’s a life-changing diagnosis for everyone involved.

However, for those who successfully come out on the other side, there is nothing like defeating cancer. A clip posted on TikTok shows one young man who had brain cancer and has the battle scars to prove it, diligently working toward a goal.

The short clip begins with the little guy approaching the man with the camera to ask if he wants to purchase a glass of lemonade for a dollar. The videographer soon learns about Sam’s recent cancer battle. 

Sam, the little boy in the video, hopes to earn enough money to buy opening-day tickets to see the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies are Sam’s favorite baseball team. He recently had brain cancer, but he now says that he’s “good.” He says he has been able to remain so strong thanks in large part to his team of doctors.

Sam’s interaction with that customer ends in a way he never saw coming. He is given $1,000 cash and handed a letter from Major League Baseball. Sam reads the letter out loud and learns that his dream of going to see the Phillies on opening day is about to become a reality. 

But it gets even better than that. 

Major League Baseball invites the young to the game and says he will get the opportunity to meet some of the players and walk on the field before the game.

The tear-jerking clip ends with Sam on the field interacting with members of the Philadelphia Phillies.
