The MLB spring training has been shut down, and the baseball regular season has been postponed during the global coronavirus pandemic.

However, there are still good examples of kindness being done in this world.

Take this example from Chicago Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts who sent out a congratulatory letter to Roger Spear, who made Eagle Scout in San Antonio, Texas.

"It is with great pleasure that I congratulate you on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. When a baseball team reaches the ultimate goal of a World Series Championship, it is because of hard work and dedication. You, Roger, have demonstrated those same qualities."

Ricketts continues in the letter congratulating him on his achievement.

Amid all the bad news, I want to thank @Cubs and @TomRickettsCubs for taking the time to write a letter of congratulations to my son for earning his Eagle Scout award. Thank you and here’s to hoping we get Cubs baseball back soon!!! @Cubs_Live @NBCSCubs @ESPNChiCubs pic.twitter.com/GNTyBRMSwC
