At Monday's Milwaukee Brewers game, a sentimental message appeared on the Jumbotron for a fan named Mark.

The message said, "Mark — your friendship means the world to me — let's not wreck it." Mark had been relegated to the friend zone in front of thousands at a professional baseball game.

But the Brewers made it up to Mark, scoring two in the the eighth to tie it. Keston Hiura belted a walk-off home run in the ninth.

Turns out Mark was the Brew Crew's motivation, according to Christian Yelich.
