Joc Pederson will probably never hit a bigger home run in his life – so it’s a good thing he touched ‘em all.
It wasn’t the walk-off, World Series winning home run that Joe Carter hit, but it couldn’t have felt far off for Pederson. In the 7th inning of a World Series elimination game (Dodgers down 3-2), Pederson hit a home run that doubled the Dodgers lead and he didn’t hold back any excitement while rounding the base paths.
Of course, as usual in baseball, fans had split feelings on this celebration. Many feel it’s disrespectful to celebrate that much as you’re rounding the bases, while others understand that it’s the biggest moment of his life and he’s bound to be emotional.
Regardless of where you sit on the fence, emotion like that leads to some great visuals. Obviously there is the photos above, but it gets even more interesting in photos.
The best part about this photo is the guy in the top left who is a second ahead of everyone else in the celebration.
Can you spot Astros fan looking absolutely crushed in this photo? Hint, he's wearing an Orange hat.
Clearly, with the jumping, chest pounding and stops around the base paths, there was nothing Pederson could do to contain his joy.
Pederson was feeling like a million bucks rounding those bases.
