this is what its all about. moments like these
ゴードン優しい男だよ
たぶん、ホセが力をくれたんだね
I didn't even know who either of these guys were until the video for the recent silly moment in the Nationals-Braves game, yet even I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out. What a moment.
And I'll echo the sentiments of everybody else, props to the announcers for saying literally nothing and props to Bartolo for his role, though that part is more to trusting what others are saying for it's veracity
Everyone crying for that coke head
Everyone in the entire stadium stood and clapped. That’s why baseball is America’s favorite sport.
This is why Bartolo Colon is one of my all time favorite players in any sport
Every baseball fan knew that Bartolo grooved that fastball for him. And that’s ok. Props to him for that. What a great move by him
come here to cry sometimes
Sometimes God has special ways of telling us it will be okay
Love Bartolo for that pitch, but I still would’ve hit a grounder to the pitcher. Dee definitely earned that!
One of the best moments in baseball history
Damn I just cried. Thanks pitcher for the meatball. Real sportsmanship right there !
This one and the lorenzen homerun gets me In the feels
A beautiful moment, Great friend
Never fails to make me tear up
Still gets me after all this time.
I came here after the Kick Return TD after what happened to Damar Hamlin.
I’ll cry every single time
Nyheim Hines td brought me here
115 lb of Dee Gordon crushing that ball into the stratosphere is absolute satisfaction.
This is my favorite sports moment in my lifetime so far. Every once in a while when I’m down after a long day I’ll come watch this to remember there’s so much more important things than what happens in our daily lives. Everytime this moment never fails make me shed at least a few tears
Does anyone get chills watching this
Bartolo colon was involved in two of the most famous HRs that season.
Thank you Bartolo.
Still one of my favorite moments in baseball history
Almost broke down crying watching this. Love you Jose. Still doesn’t feel real
For jose
Shame the city of Miami couldn’t be bothered to attend this game. Florida doesn’t deserve a baseball team.
This will never not be incredible
I cry every time I watch
Beautiful moment, this Marlins team had potential, so sad what happened to Jose and his friends.
How can you not be romantic about baseball
It might be debated for a while whether or not Colon gave Gordon that pitch, but I think Bartolo not even turning to look at the ball is proof enough to me that he wanted a homer there.
I'll always love that fatherly gesture of removing his batting helmet ❤️
Manfred would’ve issues so many violations if this happened today. Fire Manfred
Poor Dee But He’s Usually Contact Hitter
the sad home run I ever see, and one of the sad moments in the history of baseball and in sports in general. Even though it has already past some time it still hurts
Sometimes, it’s ok for there to be crying in baseball.
seeing him round third to reveal the 16 is genuinely so heartbreaking. every time i watch this video i get emotional.
Crying
Its almost like sports are scripted sometimes ..he hits a home run first of the year ? Unreal
Bartolo…legendary moment for a bonafide legend.
Crying is allowed in baseball ❤
I cry because of how bad that pitch was… great moment but ruined by the disrespect to the game in that pitch
😢
This clip does not do this moment justice. You completely cut out the part where he uses Jose's helmet and stands on the opposite side of the plate and takes a pitch before this moment. Who do you have working for you that really determined that was irrelevant?
How can you NOT be emotional about baseball?
Just coming back to this as Gunnar Henderson just did a similar thing for Brooks Robinson by also hitting a home run on the very first at bat after the news. The other very cool thing is that this also happened on September 26th. Rest in peace Jose and Brooks. You will both be remembered
Respect to Bartolo, hats off
