In an attempt to make this feature more simplistic, I will probably only be doing one GIF of the Game unless there are a several notable GIFs worth preserving--there's no sense forcing humor or an interesting moment if it's not there. So, I present you with Kevin Youkilis crushing the bejesus out of a hanging slider from Lance Lynn, the first run of the ballgame today between the Yankees and Cardinals. He hit his name on the scoreboard, just like Eddie Murray did in the 1983 World Series for the Orioles against the Phillies' Charles Hudson (you'll have to excuse the choppiness of that clip, blame the source feed). Totally the same amount of pressure, right?
