(S29) PT 2 - Double Trouble?

[J0EB]

After receiving a letter from the parents of a young fan, Johnny Jones Jr., Matt Cross was excited to surprise the kid at his 12th birthday party. He talked with the parents to get details on the party and to discuss the idea he had for how to make his appearance and get their approval. His idea was to get a giant cake made and hide inside of it, and when young Johnny goes to blow out his birthday candles, Cross would leap out the top and yell "Happy Birthday!" Alongside this plan, Cross invited teammate and good friend Jimi Desoto with him, to also hide inside of the cake. On the day of the party, the cake had to be moved with a dolly to get it over to the dining area outside. Matt and Jimi hid in the cake while the kids were all distracted opening presents, and the moment they leaped out as Johnny approached the cake put the biggest smile on the boy's face. He was utterly shocked and ecstatic to see the two suddenly appear almost magically out of the cake. After their grand entrance, the two of them played flag football with all of the kids, and they made sure to let the birthday boy get a ton of big plays. To close out the night, Matt gave Johnny Jr. season tickets to the Liberty games this season!
