When Jose Abreu entered Major League Baseball I bet he didn’t expect to be the first player to homer into an Iowa corn field

[u/TheSameAsDying → u/themarkster09]

Pretty sure a couple of Pujols' HRs with the Cardinals made it that far.

[u/themarkster09 → u/TheSameAsDying]

could that be where his homer off Lidge landed?

[u/Queen_Grayhoof → u/themarkster09]

Sir, that ball did not land.

[u/slayerje1 → u/Queen_Grayhoof]

Yeah, it's definitely following its own orbit now...You could see it from earth if it was as big as the space station.

[u/TeacherOfFew → u/themarkster09]

😢

[u/ResidentGerts → u/TheSameAsDying]

That was the Gulf of Mexico though

[u/aliu3]

If Gallo isn’t running straight into the corn to find the ball then what’s the point

[u/joshshadowfax]

CORN RUN!

[u/Zloggt → u/joshshadowfax]

YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOOOOOARD COOOOOOOOOB, YES!

[u/82ndGameHead → u/Zloggt]

MERCY MAZE!

[u/myballsareitchy → u/82ndGameHead]

CAN OF CORN

[u/Yossarian1138 → u/82ndGameHead]

Amaize-ing

[u/JanitorOfSanDiego]

So satisfying to see it disappear into the corn

[u/49ersP1 → u/JanitorOfSanDiego]

The one corn stock just moving is hilarious

[u/TigerBasket → u/49ersP1]

It's beautiful

[u/spacedude2000 → u/TigerBasket]

How can you not get romantic about corn?

[u/DangerousCrow → u/49ersP1]

Corn stonks

[u/LlamaTheG0AT → u/49ersP1]

Top drawer profile picture

[u/GameBroJeremy → u/JanitorOfSanDiego]

I’d be cautious. You’ll only make the corn stronger.

[u/NegativesPositives → u/GameBroJeremy]

We all havin fun till that ball gets thrown back

[u/El_Zarco → u/NegativesPositives]

Everybody gangsta til the corn starts tossin

[u/esperadok → u/JanitorOfSanDiego]

So glad it hit the corn. imagine if he had just hit it off the batters' eye or into the bullpen or some shit and we didn't get to see a corn shot. would have totally sucked

[u/We_Vile → u/esperadok]

Shucked*

[u/The_Haskins → u/JanitorOfSanDiego]

All time homer spot

[u/mdlt97]

CORNSHOT

[u/handlit33 → u/mdlt97]

We've all been there, am I right?

[u/saltstryder → u/handlit33]

yea on cornhub

[u/King-Snorky → u/saltstryder]

He’s an absolute cornstar

[u/IGetItCrackin → u/King-Snorky]

'Cause when the stars silhouette me

[u/NevermoreSEA]

There's something very beautiful and satisfying about the way that the ball disappears into the corn.

[u/Nas160 → u/NevermoreSEA]

Just the way God intended

[u/joshshadowfax]

not gonna lie though kinda wish there wasn't a fence so we could see the outfielders dive into the corn to try and make plays

[u/ReginaldKenDwight → u/joshshadowfax]

Yeah i get why they couldnt do that but it woulda made it even more epic.

[u/myballsareitchy → u/ReginaldKenDwight]

They could have planted like 3 corn layers on the inside of the wall for effect at least.

[u/avidblinker → u/myballsareitchy]

Whole field should be corn

[u/SoupBowl69 → u/avidblinker]

So many inside the farm home runs

[u/YojimboNameless → u/myballsareitchy]

The warning rows!

[u/dieupen → u/joshshadowfax]

Have you ever run through a green cornfield? Like tons of tiny paper cuts.

[u/Michael__Pemulis]

Good grab by that corn stalk!

[u/mjd1119]

Jose Abreu is now the only man in the world that can say he hit a major league home run in Iowa. And into corn.

[u/One80sKid → u/Demetrios1453]

GALAXY BRAIN

[u/stupidnatsfan]

This is cool I guess but I’m still just waiting for someone to hit an easy pop fly so I can call it a can-of-corn

[u/CydoniaKnight]

Sad Hean🐶 time

[u/GalacticRoyalty]

This is pretty cool

[u/Goooldschmidt → u/GalacticRoyalty]

It’s fucking awesome lol

[u/smileyfrown]

CORN

[u/playmygirls]

Joe Buck once again with the opportunity to say something cool, iconic or corny. Instead it’s another “Back at the wall, GONE.”

Couldn’t even say back at the CORN. smh.

[u/FuriousTarts → u/playmygirls]

Lol seriously. Something cool and iconic annnnd it's Joe Buck again.

Is it too much to ask to have a play-by-play guy whose favorite sport is baseball call baseball's biggest moments?

[u/WurstThrowEver]

Throw it back!

[u/Golddragon387]

The way that the scorebug changes is a nice touch.

[u/Hochseeflotte]

Heaney was just not who you want to start on a game this hyped up

And this broadcast fucking sucks. Can’t see have the damn plate

[u/TheNutFlush → u/Hochseeflotte]

I for one am quite excited the Yankees are giving us the opportunity to see home runs launched into the corn

[u/Hochseeflotte → u/TheNutFlush]

With our lack of homeruns with a lineup of Judge, Stanton, Gallo, it was nice for us to help the poor Iowa fans out

[u/TheNutFlush → u/Hochseeflotte]

Yes, the more home runs the merrier. A slugfest would be fantastic for this occasion

[u/Hochseeflotte → u/TheNutFlush]

We don’t do those. Cesar Hernandez has more bombs than Stanton

[u/TheNutFlush → u/Hochseeflotte]

I see. The White Sox should be more charitable then.

Think of the Iowans!

[u/IolausTelcontar → u/Hochseeflotte]

Change your flair, you are confusing me!

[u/vmeloni1232 → u/Hochseeflotte]

Angle leaves a lot of be desired but I got over it really quickly

[u/Hochseeflotte → u/vmeloni1232]

I mean it’s unacceptable. Fox, which is a billion dollars company, gets its ass kicked by YES

[u/TheDangiestSlad → u/Hochseeflotte]

i really don't like the angle they chose, it's really...low?

[u/Cole-Cole--]

Yankees fans calling it a mickey mouse park LOL

[u/TheDangiestSlad → u/Cole-Cole--]

...is anyone actually saying that?

[u/yianni1229 → u/TheDangiestSlad]

no they just want karma

[u/AnxiousHyena2 → u/Cole-Cole--]

is that actually happening or did you just make that up because the most recent tweets involving the words "mickey mouse park" are over half an hour old and about Yankee Stadium

[u/Cole-Cole-- → u/AnxiousHyena2]

Yankees sub

[u/AnxiousHyena2 → u/Cole-Cole--]

i ctrl+f'd "mickey" and got nothing there for the past like half hour in the game thread so idk man

[u/crassreductionist → u/Cole-Cole--]

they dont get to talk lol

[u/Hi_Imawasteofspace → u/Cole-Cole--]

More like Mickey Mouse umpire

[u/DRbaseball240]

Don’t even care that it’s against my team, that was awesome

[u/Ginjew2004]

I get up early in the morn, I get up early in the morn I slop the pigs, Momma shucks the corn, I get up early in the morn

[u/pzycho]

The corning track

[u/TeacherOfFew → u/pzycho]

Goddammit…

[u/FMonk]

Great caption from the Sox Twitter account

https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/1425968151339184128?s=20

[u/baz8771]

This is fuckin cool

[u/MD82]

Holy shit, first time seeing the setting of the field this is how baseball should be played.

[u/plez23]

You can get a lot of land in Iowa for the price of a closet in NY

[u/Zloggt]

I expect nothing less than from a MVP!

[u/50mph]

What was the xBA on that, seems like an unlucky shot for Heaney

[u/droid_mike]

No, the first home run is at the field next door... The actual field of dreams. This extra ballpark is some sort of joke, right?

[u/TheDangiestSlad]

that looks so sick

[u/Sheepies123]

Corn shot!

[u/Mozilla_Fennekin]

So fucking cool

[u/WhoDey42]

I’m just here for the corn puns

[u/lolyouseriousbro]

C O R N S H O T

[u/godly_mercs]

Pito is just SO DAMN GOOD

[u/willofthemaster]

Poor corn didn't stand a chance

[u/DUSpartan]

JOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[u/Monk_Philosophy]

1 strike away

[u/Arctyy]

I want off the Andrew Heaney train

[u/ratchkae]

That poor corn stalk :(

[u/NerdLawyer55]

That’ll be a good trivia fact

[u/theone326]

Even though these are my two favorite teams to hate...you gotta like that blast.

[u/ATLjoe93]

It's too bad Kyle Farmer couldn't have been here to hit his homer tonight. It would have been poetic. At least we still have a Gardner.

[u/Wants_to_be_accepted]

Is there a list of states that professional baseball home runs have been hit in?

[u/GordoSF]

The GIF ends too soon to really capture it, but that was a great shot of Abreu with the shed and cornfield behind him as he's approaching home.

[u/Tashre]

I half expected to see Hample leap into the corn like the Duck Hunt dog.

[u/Noy_Telinu]

That be a can a corn I reckon

[u/God_Damnit_Nappa]

Friendly reminder to the Yankees that there's no give backs. Heaney is yours now.

[u/Worthyness]

Well that certainly wasn't a can of corn!

[u/HyperboleJoe]

Sox need to go back to these unis full time.

[u/Oddmic146]

Hey can someone post Len Kasper's call of it on the radio?

[u/BlacknightEM21]

This is going to be a trivia questions for years

[u/GingerMcJesus]

So is there no game thread or what

[u/pengals12 → u/GingerMcJesus]

Believe it's stickied

[u/Eddie5pi → u/GingerMcJesus]

It's stickied at the top of the sub
