I almost cried seeing this video last night.
This YouTube video was uploaded yesterday by 'stayinhigh4209'
It was shot last weekend in San Francisco when the Dodgers played at AT&T field.

Matt Kemp is such a great person. He came over after the game and made one of my best friends night :) he's fighting a tough battle and this was such a great gift by Matt Kemp ! I'll never forget this.
Kemp gives the fan a signed ball. Then he gives him his hat. That's not the end, he gives him his jersey and shoes!
Awesome.

Wow! Even the Giant fans in the background had to applaud Kemp for being an awesome dude.
Just awesome..
Wow!!!!
This is bigger than any rivalry. Props to Matt Kemp from a die hard Giants fan.
Matt Kemp is a true class act. I just became even more of a fan than I already was. I hope your friend is fighting a battle he can win and can overcome it! Great video.
As a life long Giants fan, that was pure class, way to go Matt
Oh and best of luck to the young man in whatever battle he is fighting.
Great find Roberto! After last night I needed some faith and this gave it back.
That's awesome!! I might have to change my mind about kemp.
Props to Matt Kemp, and my prayers to the young man. He is the true champ, not the men hitting homeruns, or throwing game winning TDs, but him battling every day with courage and an unwavering positive spirit.
I am a die hard Giants fan but now I am also a fan of the man that Matt Kemp is. His sincere gesture is the way all young Pro Athletes should emulate.
What an amazing gesture! Matt Kemp sure knows how to make fans feel special.

Gotta luv the class and appreciation that Kemp shows his fans. Great great gesture.
I saw an ESPN Special on Kemp a few years ago and had much respect for him, but this takes it to another level. As a die-hard Giants Fan I see that he has a great heart and sees more to life than just baseball. Should any of my sons stray from the orange and black, I would be honored to have them wear your jersey.
Not being much of a sports fan, I haven't had any visual contact with Vin Scully since I was about 10 or 11 years old, living on 180th Street and Cabrini Blvd in Washington Heights , New York City. He lived down the street and I saw him often, however, he was older than I was by about 5 years, but he and my uncle Joe were friends as they were about the same age. I remember Vin as being ready for anything at the time, which was during world war II, and saw him around the block on many occasions. As I moved from the neighborhood soon after the wars end, I lost track of him physically, but heard of his adventures and him getting into the sports business. I get a kick out of hearing about him and tell people we were kids together on the same block.
