Life can be awfully good when you’re a cute kid.
Obadiah Gamble, of St. Paul, is a cute kid. So his video asking Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to come to his birthday party on Sunday can put a tremendous amount of pressure on a professional athlete.
People started a #heyTeddy hashtag campaign on Twitter to get the quarterback’s attention. Bridgewater is generally pretty good at handling pressure. So he stopped in to see the kid yesterday.

“We played some catch and talked about stuff. We came inside and had some cake and he brought out the cake,” Obadiah told Fox9.
This is what it's all about. We have a good one here in MN… Vikings fans! @teddyb_h2o w/ birthday boy. #HeyTeddy pic.twitter.com/ziyFCT6E67
