Ian McMillan is an admirable kid. His act of kindness goes beyond little. Young Ian was attending his favorite baseball team's game when one of the players decided to throw a ball at the crowd when Ian and another young child were hoping to be able to catch it. As the ball landed into the bleachers of the magnificent stadium it also landed in Ian's hat the little boy next to him was beyond disappointed when he realized he did not get the ball. When Ian noticed the teary-eyed little boy he turned back around, went to his seat and handed the boy the special ball. Later in an interview Ian spoke about how his parents raised him to do the right thing no matter what. Although he let the ball go, Ian did not go empty-handed he received a contract to come back to the stadium and attend any game he wanted to free of charge as well as a baseball bat signed by his favorite player. Ian sure demonstrated true kindness.
