After being in tears after a misunderstanding with Dodgers Hall of Fame Manager Tommy Lasorda, 4 year old Abel Duron of Henrietta,Texas was given the experience of a lifetime.

Abel’s father Navy E-6 Aviation Technician 1st Class Jeffery Duron was being honored as the Dodgers Military Hero of the Game and was on the field for batting practice with his family.

Wanting nothing to do with Tommy, Abel calmed down and Tommy began to work his charm to win back Abel and took him by the hand on an adventure that he will remember forever.

Tommy brought Abel through the dugout down the steps leading to the Dodger Clubhouse and batting cage.

where he got to meet Mark McGwire in the batting cage,

Justin Turner,

through the weight room to meet Alex Guerrero,

into the clubhouse to meet Juan Uribe,

and Adrian Gonzalez.

Abel got his own special tour of the restricted area of Dodger Stadium

where he got to hang out with Adrian, Yasiel

then back

onto the field where he was all smiles for Tommy.

Thank you Navy E-6 Aviation Technician 1st Class Jeffery Duron for everything you do for this country. May you and your family remember this day forever.

And way to go Tommy!!!
