Anaheim Angels all-star Howie Kendrick has apologized for making an eight-year-old boy cry, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

“If I have offended anyone I apologize. I definitely appreciate all the kind comments from you guys good and bad,” Howie tweeted Wednesday evening.

“All this will serve to make me a better person and player.”

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, Howie moved into an Orange County neighborhood for the duration of his season with the Angels and on the day he was moving out, an eight-year-old boy living just two doors down stopped by Howie’s house with a baseball card and asked his favorite player to sign it.
