Miguel Tejada never watched Baseketball, promises sick child a homerun

Apparently before last night's Astros game, Miguel Tejada promised a sick child with muscular dystrophy that he would hit him a home run in the night's game, and he actually made it happen- the first home run in a back-to-back-to-back string of 3 home runs in 3 hitters along the way to a 7-4 win over the Brewers.

Watch the clip on ESPN and see the child repeat Tejada's promise

All I can think is how this sounds right out of Baseketball, where the Southpark guy promises a kid he'll hit him 3 home runs, doesn't get it done, and then fears his let-down will cause the kid to be so dejected that he doesn't come through his heart transplant. Luckily Tejada only promised one, and was able to deliver!
