Cincinnati’s Billy Hamilton Sprinted 123 Feet To Make A Diving Catch And Assumedly Dedicated It To Harambe

We’re reaching the swan song of the baseball season here and, consequently, that means some MLB teams are getting ready to wrap their season. This more than likely includes the Cincinnati Reds, who are currently in last place in NL Central. No Wild Card sneak-in for them. However, just because they’re out doesn’t mean they’re willing to roll over and die. Hence Billy Hamilton sprinting 123 feet across to make a diving catch and rob Carlos Beltran and the Rangers extra bases.

#Hype. In all reality, this is obviously the result of the Reds being able to play without consequence. They know that, no matter what, they’re done for the season. So if their center fielder wants to haul ass over to left field and make a diving catch, successful or not, their situation has not changed. It’s like when your wife leaves you for the pool boy. Whether or not you get drunk and sends her a mirror selfie of you wearing that Christmas sweater she bought you on your first Christmas together, she’s not coming back to you. Honestly, if I were the Reds, I’d probably just be phoning these games in and get a headstart on my golf game. But the Reds can’t do that, not with the ghost of Harambe haunting their locker rooms and consciousness. They can’t just roll over and die after the beloved mascot of their city had the life snatched out of him. They need to go on for him and in lieu of him. I’m honestly shocked they aren’t going #DicksOut on this one. Anything is more impressive when a dude’s meat mace is hanging out the front of his pants, especially sprinting 123 feet to make a diving catch.
