Meet Malvern Patch's Greatest Baseball Fan

Little Zachary found a baseball on a walk through Malvern and sleeps with it every night.

The votes are in, and one photo subject has emerged as Malvern Patch's Greatest Baseball Fan. Two-and-a-half-year-old Zachary Ebersole drew the most votes with a photo taken at his first-ever Phillies game last year.

The photo is now entered into the regional competition for a prize package worth $250.

Janine Ebersole, a single mom raising Zachary in Malvern Borough, submitted the photo. She related via email a story demonstrating her son's love of the game.

Zachary loves baseball and got very upset last weekend at Monument Park when I wouldn't let him go onto the field to join the little league team.  On our walk home we found a baseball in the parking lot of the townhouse complex where we live, and he has insisted on sleeping with it every night since, lol.

Check out the attached photo to see Zachary suited up for this year's Phillies home opener.

Voting for the regional contest will take place in the comments area of the regional voting article, from Wednesday, April 10 at 12:01 a.m. to Friday, April 12 at 10 a.m.
