Jim Schlegel is a World War II veteran who was there to see the Chicago Cubs play the World Series in 1945 – and now he's being given the chance to see them again 71 years later.

With secondary ticket sites charging as much as $21,000 for a seat, Jim had lost hope over ever seeing his team again. His granddaughter Helen created a GoFundMe page in hopes of raising the necessary funds for a ticket.

That's because CNBC reality show host Marcus Lemonis of "The Profit" had been looking for a lucky person to whom he could give front row seats to the game – and he'd found his man.

Jim took to Twitter with a thank you saying "I appreciate your generosity, and hope we bring in a winner!"

Since the excited senior will be going to the game with his son, all of the money raised through the crowdfunding campaign will be donated to the Purple Heart.
