Six-year-old Astros fan gets A.J. Hinch's autograph in the most adorable way possible

Sometimes being young, little and adorable has its advantages.
Six-year-old Aaron Ford waited patiently for manager A.J. Hinch to come off the field at the end of the Astros' workout on Wednesday, but at some point, apparently, he decided he had waited long enough.
Taking matters into his own hands as only a six-year-old could do, Ford, who was there with his dad and nine-year-old brother, Carter, snuck under the gate separating the fans from the field (something we generally don't recommend), walked onto the field and into the cage, where he politely handed the ball to Hinch.

"Where do you live?" Hinch asked Aaron.
"Austin," Ford answered.
"Do you like the University of Texas?" Hinch said.
Initially nodding, Ford then revealed, "I'm an Aggie."
Go Gig 'em, kid.
