An A's fan went viral from a video of something he wishes never happened. But his favorite team is taking care of him for his troubles.
In the A's AL Wild Card Game loss Wednesday night, a Yankees fan poured beer all over an Oakland fan and laughed at the gross act. This guy had patience, as the A's fan didn't retaliate.
Once the video made its rounds on social media, the A's went looking for the fan. And just like that, Twitter showed it actually can be good sometimes.

The fan took everything in stride, saying he's a ride-or-die A's fan and confirming the team reached out to him.
The A's confirmed John to be the fan, and they said they will host him at a game next season.
Apparently, fans weren't the only ones having beer thrown on them at Yankee Stadium. A's reliever Shawn Kelley says the Oakland bullpen was showered with beer multiple times throughout the game.
Reminder -- beer is for drinking. Beer is not for pouring on fans or baseball players.
