Young Cubs fan gets emotional after receiving surprise tickets to Wrigley Field

PIERCETON, Indiana -- Nine-year-old Kolt Kyler couldn't hold back his tears when his dad surprised him with tickets to see his beloved Chicago Cubs play at Wrigley field.

Kolt has been a die-hard Cubs fan his entire life. His older half-sister, Hannah Himes, said the tickets were well-deserved.

"Kolt has been helping his dad on their farm for a couple years with their cows, but recently Kolt got two pigs to show for 4H (a youth development and mentoring organization) for the first time so he's had to work extra hard!," Himes wrote to ABC News in an email. "He also made the travel baseball team again this year so he's been busy with regular season, travel team, farm chores, cub scouts, and he is also an honor roll student!"
