The Phantom Grand Slam
“this is awesome”
“that is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life”
Watch to the end:
A guffah and a back slap to Dustin Parkes on Getting Blanked at The Score.

I watched it live. I chuckled. :)
So weird. It’s funny how new features of the game, like instant replay, affect old traditions, like having to touch every base on a home run.
That was awesome. I’m going to take this time to try to comprehend how Mike Morse was ever a shortstop in the major leagues. I love this game.
Is this the rumoured instant replay that had to be implemented?
If it is, its obviously going to slow the game down a whole lot.
You’re right, we need those 2 minutes back in a 3-hour contest. Who cares if it would have affected the score by 3(!) runs.
I mean…what about the human element! And…traditions and such!! *Rolls eyes*
I’m so excited for Tator Trot Tracker to try to explain this. Because that’s like a 5 minute, 87 second trot.
So good.
It’s like a twilight zone episode.
