They bankrolled his dream of becoming a pro baseball player as he grew up, so Brady Singer, a Kansas City Royals pitching prospect, paid his parents off in a big way this Christmas.
Singer, wiped out the debt that his mother and father had accumulated over the years, USA Today reported.
He wrote a letter to his parents telling them, “There’s absolutely no way I could have done all this by myself. Both of you constantly took off of work and spent every dime you made just to put a smile on my face. My smile and appreciation for both of you has never stopped and it never will.”

He added, before dropping the bombshell, “The money you both spent on traveling, gear, hotel, food and all those Gatorades I drank is much more than I could ever give you, but there’s something I want to give you.”
Today is very special to my heart. To give back to the two people who have given up everything to support my brother and I. I can’t thank them enough. Love you Mom and Dad pic.twitter.com/AFHi2Xma0c
