I read that first sentence three times and then still wondered how a 19-year-old was already having a four-year-old kid. MLB ain't Jerry Springer. Most of the time.

I think it's a me problem.

Unrelated, the Pirates probably have trouble sourcing Pittsburghers to partake in first pitch celebrations (that park was empty in *June*), but thankfully a (homeless) professional ballteam happened to pass through.
