Fans absolutely loved Marshawn Lynch’s delightful exit at this year’s MLB Home Run Derby in Seattle

Former Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch will always be one of the city’s most beloved figures, and he looked like he was having a wonderful time at this weekend’s MLB All-Star Game.

With the annual MLB best-of contest taking place in Seattle at the Mariners’ T-Mobile Park, Lynch fittingly showed up to present the Home Run Derby trophy.

He was the perfect person to hold such an honor at a Seattle sporting event, and he beamed with pride as he hoisted the trophy for all to see at the ballpark on Sunday.

However, it’s what happened after that just personified why Lynch is still one of the most hilarious people in sports.

As he left the field, Seattle radio host Lydia Cruz caught Lynch grabbing some home run baseballs, signing some for some young fans, snagging some free T-Mobile swag (a pillow and towel to be exact) and hitting the road.

Like, c’mon, what a hero.

It was a delightful way for Lynch to bid adieu to the fans at the derby, and of course, folks loved seeing Beast Mode just being himself.
