WFTV-9 ABC: FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. updated Oct. 31, 2020Buster Posey is a six-time All-Star, but the San Francisco Giants catcher will always remain a most valuable player for a California girl who lost her baseball card collection in a wildfire.
Posey, the National Leagues Most Valuable Player in 2012, jumped onto a Zoom call to surprise Reese Osterberg, who thought she was being interviewed about her collection and the kindness of a San Jose man who helped replenish it, KGO reported.
Osterberg, a 9-year-old from Fresno County, lost her baseball cards in September when her home was destroyed during the Creek Fire, the largest single wildfire in California history that destroyed 856 buildings, according to The Fresno Bee.

Not quite everything in 2020 sucks completely.
Hope this kid has a bright future in sports or whatever she decides to do. She certainly has a great spirit!
