This is a great story and is why kids are so special.
Kudos to this kids family who seem to have brought him up right.
Kile signed boy's glove the day before his death
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STURGEON BAY, Wis. -- A boy who got an autograph and had a photo taken with Darryl Kile the day before the St. Louis Cardinals pitcher was found dead plans to send the items to Kile's family.
Sean Zak, 10, had his baseball glove signed by Kile and then posed for a photo with him while attending the Cardinals' game in Chicago on June 21.
Zak and his family said that, after their encounter with Kile, security personnel separated the players and fans for the start of the game.
"He was thoughtful enough to take the time to give something to us, and we would like to give him some respect back," Troy Zak, Sean's father, said. "We'd just like to thank the family and let them know that he touched a young boy's life."
The Zaks said they will let the situation "cool down a little" before contacting the Cardinals for help in delivering the autographed glove and a copy of the photo to Kile's family.
Sean said he liked his glove and it was well broken in.
"But I feel pretty good about giving my glove away, because it would be a nice thing to do," he said.
