An adorable little boy has likely become the envy of baseball fans everywhere — whether he’ll ever know it or not.
After the little guy noticed an A’s bandana on a dog, he asked its owner to play ball. He was then filmed hitting an imaginary pitch off of said dog owner ― Oakland Athletics’ pitcher Sean Doolittle.
Doolittle’s girlfriend, Eireann Dolan, filmed the endearing 22-second play and posted it to Twitter Monday. She wrote that the child had “no idea who he was playing with.”
Though he may not have known exactly who he was up against, the boy was surely giving it his all.
In his first powerful swing ― though a strike ― he was seen spinning in a full circle before flashing a sheepish smile at Dolan’s camera and resuming his place alongside home plate.
But in the next pitch, he positively nailed it, sending the ball “out of the park,” as Dolan proclaimed.
It required a whispered nudge by Dolan but then the boy was feverishly seen running “the bases” as he circled Doolittle and his equally patient dog. The little lefty then hopped back to home plate, eager to do it again.
“Sean was charged with the run,” Dolan noted with her video’s upload.
