When you do a little word association game and drop the word Thor, the word that will likely be spat back at you is hammer. Thor’s hammer is a big part of the superhero’s identity, along with his flowing blonde hair and ridiculous strength.
New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard is known for his flowing blonde hair and ridiculous arm strength, so it’s fitting that he’s nicknamed after the Marvel character. If you didn’t think so from that specific criteria, how about the fact that he swung and bat and it broke without even hitting anything?
The whole charm of Thor’s hammer is that he is the only one in the universe that is strong enough to pick it up, so you can bet that a measly wooden bat would be no match.
Was this…….. Was this the real Thor?
