Six-year-old Amelia was crestfallen when the young Blue Jays fan found out her favorite player, Brett Lawrie, was traded to the Oakland Athletics. Last month she had an unforgettable moment when the MLB star treated her to an afternoon of pizza, and now the A’s have done something of their own.

Although @Athletics, I'm not sure Amelia can forgive this one... Hahaha... Jk... She loves the stuff! #mlb #athletics pic.twitter.com/vRth7BamKb
