If you don’t know Big Al by now, you’re truly missing out. But that’s okay because we’re going to give you a quick refresher. During the early stages of the Little League World Series, Alfred Delia introduced himself to the world as Big Al, and claimed that he, well, “hits dingers.”
Big Al’s player intro went viral, as he quickly went from a 12-year-old kid from Middletown, New Jersey, to becoming the star of the Little League World Series.
Enamoured with celebrity status, Big Al got to meet a couple MLB players during the MLB Little League Classic from Williamsport between the Mets and Phillies on Sunday. Those players included a few that know how to hit the longball themselves and even got to catch the ceremonial first pitch.
"I went up to him," Bautista explained to field of reporters.
"I saw him and I think it's kind of cool that he's become a known person overnight. I'm sure he's enjoying it. I just wanted to be a part of it, I guess and make him feel a little special, take a picture. He was just really appreciative, and enjoying his time, and just trying to have fun. He was in awe of meeting all of us."
Big Al even managed to appear on the Jimmy Kimmel Show to talk about his stardom.
Big Al is simply living his best life.
