MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Even at the age of 87, Reggie Bailey is still filled with wonder when she's able to get out to the ballpark. However, a trip to American Family Field last month was unlike any of her previous experiences. Her caretaker arranged a pregame meet-and-greet with her favorite Milwaukee Brewer of all, Christian Yelich.

Bailey, a retired postal worker, now lives at the Elizabeth Residence in New Berlin. Her primary caretaker, Holly Bilda, noticed the shrine Bailey had built in her rooms to showcase her love of the Brewers and Yelich, specifically.

"The Brewers mean everything to Reggie, but Yelich, specifically," Bilda said. "She's obsessed. Her room, she has stuff in her room, like little flags on her walls."

Bilda said, through their time together, she's become a fan of Bailey.

"It's hard to not develop a relationship with all of the residents, honestly," Bilda said. "But Reggie? She just really holds a special place my heart. She's just joy, she's just the sweetest thing ever."

So, Bilda emailed the Brewers and asked if it'd be possible to arrange meet-and-greet with Yelich. The nursing student was stunned when the team responded.

"I was doing homework and they called me, and I literally thought it was a joke. I was in shock," Bilda said. "It was just, I didn't even know what to say. I don't know. I was speechless."

Bailey and a few of the other residents took a group trip to the July 22 matinee against the New York Mets. Bilda and Bailey arrived earlier than everyone else in the group.

As Bilda pushed Bailey onto the field in her wheelchair, she had to stretch the truth as the two walked past stretching players.

"I told her that we had to get here early so we could find our seats and that we were just gonna watch the game," Bilda said, asking Bailiey if that's what she'd said.

"Right," Bailey replied with a smile.

Instead, the two were greeted by Brewers staff outside the team's dugout. Bailey appeared to have no idea what was coming when Yelich popped out of the dugout and greeted her. Bailey shouted, 'Yay' before immediately asking for a picture, which Yelich obliged.

"I don't believe this," she told Yelich. "My kids will go crazy."

Yelich handed Bailey a signed baseball and also autographed the back of her powder blue Yelich jersey.

"You're in person, and I see you on TV," Bailey added. "And it's like 'Wow.' You're very good looking."

After the meet-and-greet, Bailey and Bilda took in batting practice from the field level concourse. Bailey held onto the signed ball, which was now in a case. She repeatedly expressed awe and disbelief over what had just happened.

"Yelich walked up to me and started to talking me," Bailey said. "It's like, 'What?!'"

Before leaving the field, Bailey proclaimed that she knew the Brewers would win. Indeed, they did, beating the Mets 4-3. Yelich drove in two of the team's four runs that afternoon.

From the concourse. Bailey expressed immense gratitude to her caretaker.

"You did a miracle," Bailey told Bilda. "You did."

"Anything for you, Reggie," Bilda replied.
