Todd Frazier Makes Dreams Come True
Lost in the madness of the Boston bombing manhunt these last couple days was a shining ray of happiness, brought to you by none other than America’s pastime. The ability of baseball (and all sports) to bring this country together in the face of a tragedy can not be understated.
And this home run from Frazier–one of two pre-game requests from the Reds’ guest bat boy (the other being pizza)–is the latest example. In a landscape clouded by crime and hate, one beautiful sight grew out of the cracks of the barren abyss on Thursday.
Frazier smacked the two-run shot for honorary bat boy Ted Kremer, a lifelong Reds fan who has Down syndrome, and making his second appearance in two seasons in that role. Check out their awesome celebration here (via MLB.com):
