Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes showed he is still a kid at heart.
On Monday, Skenes was driving through the Pittsburgh suburbs when he saw the lights were on at the Ingomar Franklin Park Little League fields. He decided to give the little leaguers an unforgettable memory and walked onto the field.
Paul Skenes is an awesome human in case anyone was wondering.
