On Saturday, Pittsburgh saw the beginning of a new era, and it involved more than just Paul Skenes having a strong Pirates debut.
Olivia “Livvy” Dunne, an LSU gymnast and social media sensation, his girlfriend, also began her “WAG” (wives and girlfriends) era.
The MLB used a post on the league’s TikTok website to promote Dunne’s presence at PNC Park on Saturday, just like Skenes did. The post showed Dunne’s excitement for her boyfriend’s debut in an interview with SportsNet Pittsburgh.
“Livvy Dunne is entering her era,” said the description on the photo from MLB.
“I always say, it’s way harder to be the person in the stands watching because I’m not in control,” Dunne said in the article. “I’m not sure how to throw a 100-mile throw; I’m not in control.”
