MLB's most electric slugger just had one of the slowest, most disrespectful walk-off home runs of all time
Tampa Bay Rays phenom Junior Caminero is making a serious run at the AL MVP, but all fans saw Tuesday night was quite possibly the slowest walk of all time.
Maybe this is what hitting a "walk-off" home run truly means? I don't know.
If so, the 23-year-old nailed it.
EX-MLB PITCHER GIVES HIS TAKE ON METS RELIEVER JEFRY YAN'S WILD STRIKEOUT SPLIT CELEBRATION Caminero hit his second walk-off in the span of five days Tuesday against the A's , wrapping his 41st home run of the year around the right field foul pole to win the game, 2-1.
The superstar slugger is now hitting .279 this season to go along with the 41 dingers, along with 96 RBI and a nearly .900 OPS.
For most of the season, the AL MVP has been Yordon Álvarez's to lose.
And the Houston slugger hasn't lost it, by any means.
But Caminero is on the verge of ripping it away — and his home run trot after Tuesday's walk-off may have sealed the deal.
Take a look: Goodness gracious.
I grew up watching David Ortiz absolutely milk home run trots, but I'm not sure I've ever seen one quite like that.
Are you even allowed to touch the runner before he hits home? They're all just high-fiving him down the first base line.
We grew up being SCOLDED if we dared touch a batter before he touched home.
It was basically a sin.
Apparently, that's just a myth — at least in the MLB rulebook .
