This wonderful picture, which was spotted by Katie Dowd of the San Francisco Chronicle, shows five-year-old cancer survivor Miles Scott, better known as Batkid, being escorted to the baseball mound by Matt Cain, the starting pitcher for the Giants.
The young superhero, who gained fame in San Francisco for 'saving' his home town last November, was given the honour of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before the opening game of the season on Tuesday.
