Dustin Pedroia was around Reds camp on Monday and he introduced himself and his kids to Elly De La Cruz.

Pedroia played for the Boston Red Sox under Terry Francona from 2006 to 2011 and remains one of Francona’s all-time favorite players.

De La Cruz is already a fan favorite and Pedroia's kids couldn't wait to meet the Cincinnati superstar.

The switch-hitter is in the lineup tonight when they face the Brewers at 8:05 ET.
