FOX 5: MLB All-Star weekend: Make-A-Wish recipients get special experience

Five kids with critical illnesses are getting the red-carpet rolled out for them at the MLB All-Star Game.

The premier access is part of a wish through Make-A-Wish, and it started Sunday with a major surprise.

The kids, including two Braves fans, were surprised by baseball-greats and Hall-of-Famers Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones. The pair signed baseballs and posed for pictures with the wish recipients and their families.

Fanatics, the official sports partner of Make-A-Wish and MLB All-Star Game, helped this wish come true. In addition to access to premiere events and the surprise from the baseball legends, each child received $250 from Fanatics to shop for exclusive MLB All-Star Game merchandise.
