"And when you see his story, when you see the way that he reacted to the win, I mean, it's a no-brainer. You know, essentially what we enjoy to do is to give back to the community the best we can," Meyer said.
"And when you give so much but don't expect anything in return, the blessings are infinite," Speranza said.
Samson has been a Brewers fan his whole life, passed on from his dad, David.
"This completes the story this is the last puzzle piece. It's unprecedented that people that we don't know can have this type of kindness and generosity. I just I don't think it would necessarily happen in any other city," Samson's dad said.
