It has been a forgettable season for the White Sox so far, but outfielder Luis Robert Jr. delivered a majestic moment Tuesday in the form of a monster home run.
With the White Sox trailing 2–0 to the Blue Jays in the sixth inning, Robert crushed a 450-foot blast to deep left-center field that put Chicago up 3–2. His reaction after making contact was priceless, standing in the batter’s box to admire his work before tossing his bat and jogging around the bases.
It was the 25th homer of the year for Robert, who is in the midst of a career year despite his team’s struggles.
Look at this reaction:
