An 8-year-old boy found a World Series championship ring during his first outing to a Houston Astros game — and got it back to the man who lost it.
Meanwhile, Neymar Davalos, 8, had spotted the jewelry piece — which had been given to Muñoz and all ballpark employees when the Astros won the World Series in 2022 — and presented it to his dad as a Father’s Day gift.

Later, the Davalos family happened to see a social media post that had gone viral about a man losing his prized possession.
Thinking “nothing of it” at the time, Navalo’s dad Ray then explained to his son that they had to give the ring back and responded to the post.ABC13 witnessed the meet-upand spoke with Ray Davalos, the boy’s dad, who explained the chain of events.
“He comes back from the restroom and he’s like, ‘Dad, here’s your Father’s Day gift.’ And I don’t think nothing of it. There’s a lot of replicas,” Davalos said. “We were leaving and there’s a lot of people walking out of the stadium and he’s like, ‘Dad, here.’ So, I don’t think nothing of it.”
Continued Davalos: “Then, the next morning I woke up and I seen it all over social media and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’ And I’m like, ‘Son, we have to give this back.’ And he’s like, ‘Dad, but that was your Father’s Day gift.’ And I say ‘Yeah, but what would Jesus do?'”
