Hard work paid off for this young Chicago Cubs fan.

Nine-year-old Kolt Kyler, who helps out on his family's farm in Pierceton, Ind., will be making his first-ever trip to Wrigley Field in June after his dad surprised him with a pair of tickets to watch the Cubs play the St. Louis Cardinals. The special moment was captured by Kolt's mom, Natalie, and tweeted out by his sister, Hannah.

"His work ethic is amazing," Hannah told Big Stew League's Mike Oz of her little brother. "He's been carrying around a bat, ball, and glove since he could walk."
