Grab your tissues because this one's a touching story.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw shared a special moment with a young fan during the MLB All-Star Game's press conference at the Dodgers Stadium.

In a video that has since gone viral, you can see Blake Grice from Denver, Colorado nervousness tell Kershaw that he wants to tell him a story.

"I want to quickly tell you a story," says Blake. "My grandpa loved you. He watched the 1988 World Series. He wanted to meet you and Vin Scully one day. So this moment is important for me, because I'm meeting you for him. He was from Redondo Beach and a little while ago he died from brain cancer." 

Then Blake begins to cry and Kershaw gets up from his seat behind the podium to give the little kid a hug. 

"Come here, dude," you hear Kershaw say. "It's great to meet you. That took a lot of courage to tell me that. Great to meet you. Your grandad sounded like an awesome guy. Thanks for coming up."
