Meet Tadeusz Romanowski. He's a 15-year-old Pirates fan who likes watching his team play. He took in Pittsburgh's 5-4 win over the Mets at Citi Field on Wednesday night.
He's also from Warsaw, Poland. Thursday marked the very first time he'd made it to a Major League ballpark for a game, and he was quite excited about it.

That's all it took to instill the love of the game in Tadeusz's heart, and on Wednesday night it all came full circle. And, to make it an even better evening, he met Josh Harrison before the game as an added bonus, and witnessed a dramatic come-from-behind win by his Pirates.
Hope you had a great night, Tadeusz!
