A nine-year-old kid has recently sent out a heartfelt message for her favorite MLB star. The kid is a girl named Lexi Porto from Windsor. Her baseball hero happens to be Teoscar Hernandez, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays frame. When Lexi went to watch Hernandez play in Detroit, she traded a bag of sunflower seeds for a bat. 

When talking about Lexi, the 9-year-old suffers from a certain physical condition that causes the bones in her legs to break frequently. She met Hernandez for the first time at an MLB game between the Blue Jays and the Detroit Tigers. Knowingly, she carried a sign asking whether Hernandez would trade a bat for sunflower seeds. On that note, sunflower seeds are something that Hernandez is highly fond of. 

Fortunately for Lexi, Hernandez saw the sign. So he made the trade prior to the commencement of the game. Lexi had yet another fracture just before the Blue Jays’ wildcard series. But Lexi still went to watch the Blue Jays face-off in the wild card game, where Hernandez also smashed two home runs. 

Lexi Porto’s message for her favorite MLB star 

Lexi Porto’s favorite MLB star Teoscar Hernandez recently got traded to the Seattle Mariners from the Blue Jays. The news has seemingly broken Lexi’s heart. Therefore, Lexi sent out a special message for Hernandez. Lexi’s father recorded her words through a video message and uploaded the clip on his social media handle.

Lexi added, saying, “When we were there, I got this jersey as a gift from my dad. And I was hoping you would sign that one day.

See you on the field for another trade.”
