Umpire Laz Diaz is still celebrating April Fools, totally pranked a young Astros fan

By Matt Monagan

You know those people that love April Fools and just continue celebrating April Fools all month long? Just pranking people left and right and saying, "There's no rule that April Fools is only on April 1. Rules are for Fools!"
No? Well, Laz Diaz is one of those people. The third-base umpire pulled off a nice prank on a young Astros fan during the team's game against the Mariners on Wednesday. Josh Reddick gave the fan a ball, Diaz walked over and took it away and then ... PRANK! JUST KIDDING, KID.

Very cute once all was said and done. And we're very glad this sad face eventually turned back into a smile.
