ANAHEIM — It was a snow day for Ron and Kristy Ferrante’s three children at their home in Connecticut on Jan.
But that act of kindness ended up paying off in a big way, as in the last pack of cards that he opened from his box, he pulled a limited-edition autographed Mike Trout card that was one of only 10 created by Topps.
Ron took video of Joey opening the pack and caught his epic reaction to pulling the card on camera and posted it to Twitter.
“I had posted it to Twitter and put down my phone, but when I looked at it again, my phone was blowing up,” Ron said.
Trout posted the video on his Instagram, as well as a pic of Joey sleeping with the card.
Joey also wrote Trout a letter in case he was too shocked or star-struck to talk to him, but he found Trout to be down-to-earth and easy to talk with.
But he had told them he didn’t want them to miss an opportunity to meet their hero, Trout.
“He told me about his collection, and we started collecting baseball cards a couple years ago,” Joey said.
