## Resource

Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes pulled over to join kids practicing under the lights, playing catch, signing autographs, and making every moment feel special—so much so that a forehead autograph went viral. He gave real pitcher advice: “Just throw hard” and “don’t hit the next batter.” The kids’ coach praised his genuine connection with every player, and the next night, Skenes dominated the Dodgers on the mound, proving his arm is elite. It’s a heartwarming reminder that even the biggest stars remember where they came from—and make time for the next generation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
