Tiger Trap: Livvy Dunne Snubs MLB Mascot's Bold Move

An ambitious baseball mascot failed to charm Livvy Dunne after shooting his shot with her

SCANDALOUS! Paws, the sassy Detroit Tigers mascot, takes a huge swing at winning over Livvy Dunne, the stunning Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star - and crashes and burns in epic fashion!

In a jaw-dropping moment that left fans gagging, Paws held up a sign reading "Sup Livvy Dunne" during the second game of Detroit's double header with Pittsburgh on Thursday. But little did he know, his bold attempt to charm the gymnastics icon would be met with a resounding rejection.

As Livvy Dunne, the ex-gymnast and current influencer, took to her social media platform X (formerly TikTok), she dropped a sassy clapback that left everyone gagging. In response to Paws' sign, she posted a photo of it, captioning it "Sorry... not my type of tiger" - a clear reference to the LSU Tigers, the school she and her Pirates-star beau Paul Skenes attended.

The drama didn't go unnoticed, with fans taking to social media to weigh in on the awkward encounter. But before we get to the juicy gossip, let's take a step back and remember how Livvy and Paul first stole our hearts. The power couple met at LSU, where they both attended school, and made their relationship official over the summer of 2023.

Fast-forward to today, and Paul is still riding high on his historic rookie season, which culminated in him being named National League Rookie of the Year. As for Livvy, she's been keeping busy with her new life as an influencer, attending SI Swimsuit parties, walking runways, and sharing glimpses of her "east coast summer" with fans.

But back to Paws - it seems like he got a little too big for his britches (or should we say, his baseball uniform?). After all, who needs a tiger-themed sign when you have a gorgeous supermodel like Livvy Dunne by your side? Maybe Paws should stick to cheering on the Tigers from the sidelines instead of trying to win over the hearts of SI Swimsuit cover stars!

In related news, it seems like Livvy has been having the time of her life this summer. She recently shared a carousel post showcasing her "east coast summer" adventures, complete with a sizzling bathing suit photo shoot featuring none other than her pup Roux by her side.

But wait, there's more! The Westwood, New Jersey native also treated fans to a behind-the-scenes look at her busy life as an influencer. From sharing snaps of herself in a Pirates hat and cheering on Paul from the stands at PNC Park to capturing memories of him enjoying some downtime on the golf course, Livvy has been giving fans a front-row seat to her whirlwind lifestyle.

So, what's next for this power couple? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - they'll always have each other's backs (and maybe even Paws' awkward attempts at winning over their hearts!).
