When a video of a young Brewers fan shouting “We’re going to the World Series!” went viral, it caught the attention of two Milwaukee entrepreneurs who decided to make the kid’s dream a reality. Samson Herman, 13, and his father, David, will now watch the Brewers compete in Game 2 of the World Series thanks to tickets purchased by Joshua Meyer and Santiago Speranza.
How the surprise began
Samson’s ecstatic reaction to the Brewers clinching the National League Championship was captured on video and shared widely on social media. The clip resonated with many in the community, especially Joshua Meyer, whose wife saw the footage and was moved to tears. Inspired by the youngster’s pure joy, Meyer teamed up with fellow business owner Santiago Speranza to purchase two tickets for the upcoming World Series game.
Giving back to the community
“When you see his story and how he reacted to the win, it’s a no‑brainer,” Meyer said. “What we enjoy doing is giving back to the community the best we can.” Speranza added, “When you give so much without expecting anything in return, the blessings are infinite.” Both men emphasized that their generosity reflects a broader commitment to supporting local families and fostering goodwill.
A family tradition continues
Samson has been a Brewers fan his entire life, a passion passed down from his father, David Herman. “This completes the story—it’s the last puzzle piece,” David said. “It’s unprecedented that people we don’t even know can show this kind of kindness and generosity. I don’t think it would happen in any other city.” The tickets not only reward Samson’s enthusiasm but also strengthen the bond between father and son.
What’s next for the Herman family
Before Game 2, Samson, his dad, and the two business owners will meet at a tailgate to celebrate together. Meyer also announced a giveaway of two additional tickets through his company’s Facebook page, M‑L Meyer Construction and Roofing, giving more local fans a chance to share in the experience.
Community spirit on display
This act of kindness underscores the strong sense of community that defines Milwaukee. While the Brewers chase a championship, local residents like Meyer and Speranza demonstrate that the city’s heart beats as loudly as any stadium chant. Their generosity reminds us that supporting one another is a cornerstone of a thriving neighborhood.
