With all the recent turmoil in the airline industry, it’s nice to hear a positive flying story every now and then.

Canales responded to Hammond, wishing her son good luck at his baseball game:

To make the story even better, Bryce came through for Canales, hitting what his mother said was his first-ever over-the-fence home run for his tournament-champion squad:

If they weren’t already Tennessee fans, it’s safe to say Meridith and Bryce are now Vols for life, thanks to the classy gesture from Canales.
