Kyle Seager of the Seattle Mariners swung at a pitch and lost control of his bat during an MLB game in Houston last month. The lumber flew into the stands and hit a young Houston fan named Lyle.
Lyle wasn't hurt -- but that's not the only silver lining of the situation. Lyle also proved himself to be a young class act by sending Seager a delightfully sweet handwritten letter exonerating the big leaguer of any guilt.

Seager's wife, Julie, recently posted the letter to her Twitter account, sharing the major dose of cuteness with the rest of the world.
If you're having trouble reading Lyle's handwriting, here's a transcription:
Dear Mr. Seager,
My name is Lyle Raymond. Your bat landed on me. I am OK. Thanks for giving me the thumbs up when you were on first base. I like the Astros but will cheer you on too. I gave back your bat because you had a big hitting streak with that bat. I hope you have more with that bat.
Your fan,
Lyle
The sports world's hordes of rude fans (and even some athletes) may want to follow young Lyle's kind lead.
