Best MLB Moments 9/14/2021

I don’t want to mislead anybody here, so I will take this opportunity to let you know that this article is going to be very Blue Jays centric. This is not because I am a fan. Joe Carter blasting a World Series-winning shot off of Mitch “Wild Thing” Williams in 1993 hurt me bad. At that point, the Blue Jays were the Yankees of the AL East right before the Yankees became the Yankees of the AL East. I wanted them to lose because they weren’t the Red Sox. So when I say that I will be spending a lot of “ink” on Toronto tonight, it’s because they are amazing.

How amazing? I am so very glad that you asked. This amazing:

Okay, not ageLESS, more like aged-MORE, but still a wonder. Adam Wainwright was dealing:

 

 

Speaking of Dealing

 

Alek Manoah has a very special set of skills even Liam Neeson would envy. Specifically, they have to do with throwing baseballs and he is a master:

 

 

Passing the Torch

 

Vladimir Guererro was an unbelievable ballplayer, but his most enduring contribution to the game of baseball may very well wind up being giving life to his son. Yesterday, Vlad Jr. did something special:

 

 

I was afraid of another year of growing pains from this man. I was dead wrong. He found it, and he is going to be fun to watch for many, many years to come.

 

More Blue Jays

 

 

Another Football Reference

 

 

Player Name Puns

 

 

A Battle in the Bronx

 

There was a little back and forth in New York, but the Yankees eventually did this:

 

 

But after this defensive gem:

 

 

And this blast:

 

 

 

And with that, another Monday is in the books. Let’s go live to the Miami Marlins‘ dugout from yesterday to see how they feel about it:
