After watching the series, his parents said they wanted to surprise him with tickets to Game 4.
Henry and his father, Jonathan Ropel, drove to Los Angeles to watch the game. FOX6 News caught up with them during their drive.
What they're saying:
"Well, I thought I actually missed the bus and was like, oh crap, going to be so mad," Henry Ropel said. "Then my dad says, 'Wanna go to Game 4?' And I'm like, 'You're lying, like you do this all the time.' And then he's like, he's so, and it's true, so I'm like, 'Wow.'"
"We planned this last Friday," Jonathan Ropel said. "We knew it was going to be 3-0, anything like. But we figured four games, we'll for sure see it. You know, you never know if there's going to be a game after last year, so we started looking at tickets, and we didn't know what to expect because Los Angeles is a lot more expensive usually. But we found some good Uecker seats up in the upper deck that were within our budget and said, 'Let's do this. Let's make an experience out of it.'"
