LOOK: Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia takes a mid-game ice cream break

The upstart Milwaukee Brewers are a fun bunch to watch, and 22-year-old shortstop Orlando Arcia is one reason why. Although he got off to a slow start at the plate, he entered the weekend with an 88 OPS+ on the season.

Arcia later returned to the scene of the crime -- albeit while pursuing a Giancarlo Stanton foul ball -- and seemed to be on good terms with the fans.
