The father of a young boy who stole our hearts during his battle against cancer and had a special bond with a Cincinnati star is making a special request this holiday season.

Wally Herbert’s son, Walter "Superbubz" Herbert, died at age 6 in October.

Superbubz touched a lot of lives, including that of Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto.

After Votto hit a solo home run on Aug. 31, he gave Superbubz the bat he used, as well as one of his jerseys.

Also in October, Votto showed up the boy’s visitation with flowers to pay his final respects.

As Superbubz’s family’s first Christmas without their little superhero approaches, Wally Herbert is asking for help completing a memorial that would help honor his boy and enshrine that special day at Great American Ball Park.

Wally Herbert said in a Facebook post that he is seeking the ball from the home run on Aug. 31.

He wants to add it to a memorial wall along with the two other special gifts given to his son by Votto after that hit.

“I want this ball worse than any of y’all want a Reds World Series,” he said in the post.

He also said he’s willing to pay.
