A young man selected a baseball instead of money and ended up experiencing “the best day” of his life.
Everyone needs money to function and survive in the world. Without an adequate amount of money, life is significantly more complicated. Even when money is tight and may not be coming in at the rate we’d like, the frequency at which bills come in never slows.
However, as much as we may need and be concerned about money, it’s not the be-all and end-all. Money certainly isn’t everything in life. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to return to a time and place when money was not a primary concern? Possibly back when we were children, and having fun and being with friends was way more important than money?
Well, time travel has not been perfected yet, but one video posted on social media captures that innocent time in one sweet young man’s life. In the clip, the young man, Mason, is approached on the street and offered a choice. He is given the option of selecting a baseball or a stack of cash.
The little guy, surprisingly, chooses the “mystery baseball.” He does so because he “found baseball” when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and has loved the game ever since. After making his selection, Mason is handed a letter informing him that he’s going to a baseball game and will get to meet some of the players on the Philadelphia Phillies.
The clip shows the young man interacting and conversing with some of the players on the field. From the look on his face, it's clear that Mason is having the time of his life, which he states before the clip ends.
“This is the best day of my life,” Mason says.

What a sweet and touching video that shows the innocence of a child, someone who is not a bit concerned about money.
