In Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, DJ Stewart of the New York Mets crushed two home runs to make it three in two games.

In a post-game interview, Stewart expressed his enthusiasm for the game and mentioned that his daughter provides him with additional motivation.

Stewart stayed in Baltimore after being promoted in 2018, even though he had trouble finding full-time work. This season, ever since joining the Mets following their trade deadline sell-off, he has shown some fantastic flashes of power.

Stewart said:

“I have a little girl and diapers aren’t cheap, so that’s what keeps me going.”

Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on DJ Stewart's comments, with many doubting that he is struggling to afford diapers:
