STRUTHERS, Ohio — An Ohio teacher is having a World Series dream come true, and it's all thanks to his students.
Richard Gage is a huge fan of the Cleveland Indians, and students realized that he should be at the game when the Indians take the field for the Series, WKBN reported.
So they set up a GoFundMe account to make sure he could see his team live.
"There are a lot of people like me over the past 25 years who he has had such a huge impression on that putting this out there we could probably get it done pretty swiftly," former student John Miley said.
In less than 72 hours, more than 100 people donated enough money to reach $2,500 goal, WKBN reported.

Many also left notes for their former teacher.
"I would just say to all the people who helped make this possible, thank you so much, you make me realize my life has true meaning," Gage said.
Gage will be at Game 2 Wednesday night.
