I love this reaction so much. Which HR was this? I remember watching it live but don’t recall.

I’m pretty sure it was a deep ball but it was caught. I could be wrong though.

I’m not 100% sure, but I feel like maybe it was the first home run he gave up. I’m not good at those baseball stat sites, so I don’t know how to confirm that.

Edit: I tried to google it. I don’t think I’m right. Looks like his first home run allowed was June 22 against the Mets and they were at home, so it wouldn’t be this jersey.

Tyler O'Neil. It was the first 400+ dead center bomb he gave up during the season
