His name is Teraj Anderson. In his yellow and black uniform, he somehow reminds one of Smoky Burgess, the rotund catcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates when they defeated the New York Yankees in the 1960 World Series.

He stole home plate with the decisive run in his team’s 10-7 win over Texas in the American Championship game on Saturday.
