Worst home run swing I’ve ever seen

David Robertson has the “Oh Holy Crap, please tell me I didn’t let up a 2 out, 2 strike go ahead home run in the 9th inning” face. You know, the face Mariano Rivera never developed.

Meanwhile, doing his part to put a dagger in the heart of New York fans and the seed of doubt in David Robertson’s mind, Matt Joyce did the exact OPPOSITE of Reggie Jackson or Manny Ramirez styling at home plate.

When you smash a 9th inning game winning home run in Yankee Stadium, try not to collapse into a heap.
