Watch: Two young baseball fans go absolutely nuts after star player gives them his batting gloves
There are bad days in sports and there are good days. For two young Pittsburgh Pirates fans, yesterday was a very good day.
After the Pirates wrapped up a 5-2 win against the San Diego Padres on Saturday, outfielder Andrew McCutchen turned around and surprised the two youngsters a gift: his batting gloves.
However, it was their unrestrained emotion that followed that makes the moment even better.

“I love you, man,’’ the one kid keeps repeating, while pointing back to McCutchen.

Watching their reactions a few times on repeat is everything that is good about sports. You don’t have to be a Pirates fan — or even a baseball fan — to appreciate that.
