Mallex Smith played catch with a young fan in between innings

The Rays dominated in Saturday's 19-6 win over the Twins. Those 19 runs were a franchise record and were largely the result of three, five run-inning-performances. Mallex Smith went 3-for-4, but it was what he did in between innings that made a fan's day.
While he was warming up for the ninth inning, Smith was playing catch with a young fan who was watching the game from the left-field bleachers:

It appeared he was a Twins fan, so it seemed they put the competition aside for that special moment. 
Way to make a kid's day, Mallex.
