Cubs slugger Anthony Rizzo saw the video on social media and will make sure that Kolt has a memorable trip to Wrigley Field with batting practice passes for him and his father.

Now, veteran pitcher Jon Lester decided to give his personal seats to Kolt and his father for their visit to Wrigley Field.

It sounds like Kolt will have a memory that will last a lifetime with help from his father, Rizzo, and Lester.

@HannahHimes @Cubs Hey Kolt, I know you guys have tickets but how about you and your dad sit in my personal seats when ya'll come to Wrigley?
