Oakland A’s slugger Khris Davis met with some kids thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation before Monday night’s game against the Texas Rangers. And one of those young fans, Anthony Slocumb, even signed Davis’ game jersey.
Well, Davis put that autographed jersey to good use, and “Khrushed” his 37th homer of the year. The ball landed in rare territory at the Oakland Alameda Coliseum. Check out this bomb:

The scorching hot A’s currently have a 7-0 lead in the game, as they look to improve to 75-50. Oakland would be tied for first place in the AL West with a win and an Astros loss.
Update: Here’s some more good stuff on Khris Davis and Anthony Slocumb.
