Summary
Willson Contreras, Boston Red Sox first baseman, delivered a jaw-dropping 421-foot home run in the first inning—his bat flying in a two-handed flip after praying for the moment. Amid Venezuela’s devastating earthquake crisis, which has left over 50,000 missing and death tolls rising, Contreras hasn’t missed a game. He later apologized to Washington Nationals pitcher Miles Mikolas, a former teammate, clarifying the flip wasn’t meant to disrespect. The emotion of the crisis fueled his performance, reminding us how deeply sports and global tragedy are intertwined.
