Andrew McCutchen makes young Pirates fans’ day at end of game (Video)

One of the best moments from MLB on Saturday did not happen during an actual game. No, this one occurred right after one finished.

After Mark Melancon closed out a 5-2 win for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the San Diego Padres, center fielder Andrew McCutchen located some fans in the outfield seats and ran over to them. There were two young Pirates fans along with what appeared to be their mother and father, and they were preparing to raise their Jolly Roger flag when they spotted McCutchen. Cutch came over, gave one of the boys his batting glove along with a few fist pounds:

The reaction from the young boys along with the presumed father, who happened to be wearing a McCutchen T-shirt, was awesome.
