Tim Anderson was already the coolest player in baseball, but Thursday night’s game against the Yankees just solidified it.
Anderson hit a walk-off home run to send the White Sox to a 9-8 victory over the Yankees. It was Anderson who put the spectacular finish on the game in the bottom of the 9th with the most appropriate ending for Major League Baseball’s ‘Field of Dreams’ experience.
He also did it in the coolest way possible. He knew as soon as the ball left the bat. He just started walking the bases, signaled ‘it’s over” and made it back to home to celebrate with his team.
The experience couldn’t have ended any better. Well, at least if you’re not a Yankees fan, anyway.
Here’s a look at the coolest moments from Anderson’s walk-off.
