Forget an autograph. Forget catching a foul ball. One lucky Mets fan got a much cooler interaction with Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer.
He of two no-hitters and a recent 20-strikeout game took time out of the normally uneventful routine of shagging flies during batting practice Wednesday to play catch with a young Mets fan at Citi Field. Take a look.

"Amazing," the kid said of the experience. "I'm not giving this ball away. There's no way."
The kid is a Mets fan at heart, but he'll probably be a Scherzer fan for life.
