Minnesota Twins player Royce Lewis is redefining fan interactions during spring training by asking young fans for autographs in exchange for his own. This unique approach creates memorable moments for children while honoring his own childhood memories of meeting baseball stars like Torii Hunter and Matt Kemp. Lewis recalls the excitement he felt receiving autographs from these players and aims to provide similar joy to the young generation. His signed spring training hat has become a symbol of these interactions, showcasing his commitment to fostering connections with the next generation of baseball fans.
Eight out of 10 of them are always like, 'Me? You want me to sign it?' It's just so funny to see their reaction. I think they're just shocked. It's almost as if no one's done that before.
The Dodgers could have gotten crushed that day, but we were just happy that we got to meet Matt Kemp. That's just how I want to make other kids feel, because I got that experience and it made me love the game of baseball.
