While Olivia Dunne may be the biggest star of LSU athletics, Paul Skenes was also among LSU’s brightest baseball athletes. Skene’s talent as a baseball player is evident in how smoothly he transitioned to the MLB and is already making headlines as a rookie. After appearing on the ESPN Gameday Show together, Skenes and Dunne attended the Pittsburgh Steelers game.
“Paul Livvy” the Pittsburgh Steelers page posted on Instagram with a snapshot of the power couple. The Pittsburgh Pirates and Livvy posed for the camera with the LSU gymnast sporting a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey. However, this comes shortly after the Topps player card drama that saw LSU star Olivia Dunne catch some flak from baseball fans.

Skenes, who recently grabbed the MLB Rookie of the Year award, has become the center of attention thanks to his Topps card. After winning the award, Skenes’s autographed Topps card has become one of the most sought-after cards from a collection of 250 other rookie cards. Even the Pirates wanted in on the action, offering 30 years of free tickets and a pair of Olivia Dunne’s boyfriend’s autographed jerseys to the person who could draw the card.

Olivia Dunne even offered a seat beside her during the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens game. “Let’s raise the stakes. The person who finds the card can sit with me at a Pirates game in my suite,” the 22-year-old posted. However, Dunne’s offer didn’t go down well with MLB fans, who thought 30 years of free tickets were worth more than a chance to sit beside Livvy.
