McCullers supports young Astros fan

Houston pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. has offered advice and a free playoff ticket to an eight-year-old special-needs girl who was apparently yelled at by

another fan for loudly cheering at an Astros game. McCullers on Wednesday tweeted “Chloe, don’t you EVER stop cheering ” and offered her a ticket for an Oct. 5 playoff game. Chloe’s mother, Monica Beaver, posted video from Sunday’s 6-2 Astros win over the Los Angeles Angels that appears to show another fan chiding the girl for being too loud. Beaver said her daughter has been diagnosed with a mood disorder that affects her emotions. Chloe cried after being scolded. McCullers encouraged Chloe “to cheer us on, as LOUD as you can” during Game 1 and says he’s honoured to give her a ticket.
