Sometimes, all you can do is stop and appreciate an out-of-this-world home run — even when the opposing team hits it.
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman did just that on Friday night during Game 1 of the World Series when New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton broke a 1-0 game wide open, ending the shutout for New York in the top of the sixth with a monstrosity of a home run ball that traveled 412 feet.
As Freeman watched the ball fly out of Dodger Stadium, he could only sit back and marvel at what Stanton just did. He’s really just like us.

It’s not the first time Freeman has had a reaction like this to another team’s home run. He had another similarly hilarious reaction to a moonshot from Ronald Acuna Jr. last August, turning to the camera to make a Jim Halpert-esque face.
The Dodgers will just hope he doesn’t make this face too many more times during the World Series.
