After shaking hands with Tebow, Bosch turned around to face his mom, who was filming the encounter, and raised his arm triumphantly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The crowd roared in appreciation. \u00a0But when he got back to his seat, the little boy was so touched by the experience that he began to sob. \u00a0His mother turned off the camera as she comforted him. \u00a0Then, a few minutes later, she turned back on the camera and assured her son. \u00a0\u201cLook, he\u2019s going to hit a home run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As if inspired by the little boy\u2019s visit, Tebow did just that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started crying too,\u201d his <a href=\"http:\/\/nypost.com\/2017\/08\/10\/tim-tebow-hits-homer-after-emotional-embrace-with-autistic-boy\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">mother said<\/a>. \u201cHow does that happen?
