## Resource

Willson Contreras delivered a jaw-dropping 421-foot home run, his 18th of the season, sparking a 6-3 Red Sox win—but the real drama was emotional. After smashing the three-run blast and shouting “Venezuela” as he circled the bases, he flipped his bat with fury and broke down in tears in the dugout, overwhelmed by the devastation back home. Struggling with the guilt of being thousands of miles away while his country reels from earthquakes, he called the home run his only physical way to pray for his people. He’s heartbroken by the suffering, praising Venezuelans as good people who deserve better. Yet his night ended abruptly when he was ejected in the second inning for not checking his swing—a moment that contrasted sharply with the raw humanity he’d just shown.
