Former LSU pitcher [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] and current Tigers gymnast [autotag]Livvy Dunne[/autotag] form quite the power couple.
Skenes, the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft, is in the midst of a phenomenal rookie season in which he earned All-Star honors and already looks like one of the best pitchers in baseball. Dunne, meanwhile, is a national champion and one of the biggest names in the NIL sector of college sports.
For Dunne’s birthday, Skenes got her quite a fitting gift: an official Topps baseball card of their English retriever, Roux, complete with “career stats” such as his favorite activity (chewing on sticks) and favorite food (steak).

Skenes’ own rookie card is sure to be pretty valuable someday, but for the time being, it’s Roux who’s stealing the show.
