'Awesome': Photo of grandpa rooting for KC from intensive care goes viral [pic]

Tweeter @C_Cunn snapped a photo of his grandpa rooting for the Kansas City Royals from his room in the hospital’s intensive care unit. A great moment, reminding us that there’s still good in sports.

Even ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt was moved by the photo.
