"Nacho Man" got his baseball — chips.

The man who consoled a young Cincinnati Reds fan at Great American Ball Park after losing his nachos and failing to come up with Eugenio Suárez's sixth-inning home run ball Thursday afternoon was embraced by many Twitter users who watched the video.

One of them — the wife of Reds relief pitcher Lucas Sims — offered him a ball for his valiant though likely painful effort.

"Oh goodness, *nacho man* if you see this - DM me and @LSims_ will get your son a ball," Dani Sims wrote Twitter, which was retweeted by the Reds' official account.

Sims later tweeted an update saying they had found Nacho Man.

Aaaaand some Tostitos, of course, were on their way for Richie Jones, who has embraced his nickname — and couldn't be a better sport about all of it:

Several media outlets poked fun at the so-called "nacho man" in sharing the video. But with any luck, something better than the Reds' 14-11 loss in 10 innings will come from the man's pursuit of the ball and attempt to make the young fan's day.

Last week, a fan at a Los Angeles Dodgers game was splattered with nacho cheese as he caught Dodgers infielder and former Reds minor-leaguer Justin Turner's home run.
