A random act of kindness shown by three friends with an extra ticket to a Boston Red Sox game has gone viral.
On Wednesday, Pedro Lugo, Sean Wetzonis and Francisco Rios, all from Malden, Mass., had four tickets to see their hometown team play the Toronto Blue Jays. They decided to gift the extra ticket to someone who would value and appreciate it, that's when they met John, a homeless man asking for change near Fenway Park.

When asked if he wanted to go, he agreed and the four men enjoyed John's first Red Sox game together.
So we had an extra ticket to the @redsox game and didn’t want to waste it, so luckily we ran into our man John who unfortunately is homeless, but we got the opportunity to take him out to his first game, bless up Unc pic.twitter.com/T1TCa6fVcF

The Red Sox lost to the Blue Jays 5-4 that night, but these guys were winning.
