    Zack, I’ve been watching your wholesome content for a while. You amaze me, the way you interact with kids and your fans. But finding out that you gave arod his 3000th hit so that the Yankees would donate to charity, that tops it all. I can almost promise that 99% of people in that some position wouldn’t have given up that historic hall even if it benefited a charity. You’re what we as humans should strive to be.
