MLB slugger Harold Castro capped off one of the most exciting finishes to ever grace a Venezuelan League championship game. In the bottom of the 11th inning, Castro hit an absolute no-doubter to right field to end the game.
Harold had no desire to contain his excitement in helping Leones del Caracas win their 21st league title. He watched the ball the entire way, making sure it didn’t hit the right-field foul pole. He didn’t take his first steps out of the box until the ball landed in the seats.
That was the perfect reaction to hitting a walk-off home run to win the championship. Everything this team had worked for all season long paid off with just one swing of the bat.
Seeing home run celebrations in leagues like this isn’t uncommon. The Venezuelan and Dominican Republic Winter leagues are known for their bat flips and home run trots.
“Oh this is wild,” one fan tweeted.
“Pour this into my veins and don’t you dare stop,” another fan tweeted.
MLB fans can’t help but love this kind of stuff. They love seeing raw emotions from these professional athletes.
