I'd watch my first major league home run too. Deal with it.
-
what the hell is the problem with watching your first home run? or any home run? kid cranked one out. so what?
-
"Jose did some 21 year old things during that sequence, he acted like a kid" but meanwhile the one throwing the tantrum "comes from a baseball background and understands the situation."
-
"My name is Chris Johnson and I can't have fun." -Chris Johnson (probably)
-
Johnson runs in from third.....immediately gets behind the umpire!!! 🤣🤣🤣
-
As soon as pitchers stop their excessive yelling and fist pumps when they strike someone out, batters will stop admiring and celebrating.
-
Chris Johnson with the Academy Award for best “Tough Guy.” Fly high, Jose. 🙏
-
Johnson is real tough, he runs directly behind the umpire and his teammate. Lol
-
How many pitchers hit home runs.... if I were a pitcher and hit a home run, I would be still standing there admiring it 6yrs later!!!
-
The funny thing is Johnson sprinted from third and intentionally put himself behind 4 other players giving himself enough distance to safely act like a tough guy.
-
1:41 Johnson said " I will beat the Fxxx outta that dude right now!" Right after he hides behind the ump!!
-
Can only imagine Jose's numbers today.... He was a fantastic pitcher and damn so glad he watched that homerun!!!
-
Jose's reaction to his HR is actually pretty tame to today's baseball. They have come a long way.
-
Gone WAY too soon. It almost doesn't feel real. Rest in peace to a great young star.
-
REST IN PEACE HOMIE, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
-
The best part of the whole exchange is Chris Johnson running straight in to hide by the umpire and then fading to the back while saying “keep talking
-
Man, we sure celebrate HR’s differently in 2019. RIP Jose Fernandez.
-
If it's any consolation, he accomplished a lot in his short life. He pitched in MLB at age 20, was a two-time all star in a four year career, and finished 3rd in NL Cy Young voting in his rookie year, when he won the NL rookie of the year award. A true phenom who did more impressive things than almost anyone who lives to be 75 will do. It's amazing. I remember his 5-Hour Energy commercials just last week, and to think that man is gone now is just shocking.
-
Jose was great for baseball. He is sorely missed.
-
This kid was destined to be great . R.I.P.
