St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong has shown some serious power in the early part of his career, hitting 25 homers in just 108 games in his rookie year, 19 in his second year and already reaching 24 in his third year with 24 games to go. Here's the question: unless you're a Cardinals fan or an avid watcher of MLB Network's A++++ program “Quick Pitch,” have you ever seen one of DeJong's homers? I watch “Quick Pitch” on the reg and can't remember seeing a DeJong highlight, though I likely have and just wasn't paying attention.
But it'll be impossible to forget this single DeJong hit on Tuesday night at Busch Stadium, because it will be replayed over and over on MLB highlight reels until the end of time. A single, you say? No, not just any single, a single straight out of the 1994 classic “Angels in the Outfield,” one that a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt couldn't have dreamed up if he tried:
