VALHALLA, New York (WABC) -- The New York Mets pulled off an Amazin' surprise for an 8-year-old boy at a Westchester Hospital.
Back in October, Jack suffered an unexpected rupture of a blood vessel in his brain while playing baseball, causing him to collapse. He underwent surgery, and then extensive rehabilitation at Blythedale Children's Hospital in Valhalla.

Nimmo also surprised Jack with a special 'Get Well Soon' message.
