Boston cop stops to play baseball with little boy
When a Boston police officer recently observed a little boy standing all alone with a bat and ball in his hands, the policeman sprang into action.
He offered to pitch to the child.
“The boy’s face lit up,” according to a post on the Boston Police Department’s website.
The two proceeded to spend some time playing ball together at a South Boston housing development.
“This is the kind of hands on community service our officers are doing on a daily basis in neighborhoods throughout Boston,” the BPD post read. “We applaud the officer for taking time out of his tour of duty to make this boy’s day.”
