One fan in the front row at Globe Life Field knew where the ball was headed as soon as it left the end of Corey Seager’s bat.
As the Texas Rangers shortstop sent a home run about 418 feet into right field, the fan leapt up and grabbed his buddy out of the seat next to him. As they embraced in a giant bro-hug of fandom, they both knew: The Rangers had just tied the game up in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 1 of the World Series.
These are moments that make baseball great, right? This is the kind of joy that one pitch, or one swing of the bat can spark.
Keep an eye here on the fan in the red hat raising his arms before Seager swings:

The Rangers went on to win in walk-off fashion, 6-5, thanks to a solo home run from Adolis García. We like to imagine that our bros in the front row hugged it out during that dinger too.
