Although this was already TENTH home run for Chris Morel this season, it had been a while since the last time he sent one out (May 23). So I don’t blame him for some extra hustle when he launched this belt-high junk way out to right field.
But it is never not going to be funny when someone sprints around the bases despite having homered.
This was the second homer of the game for the Cubs – Mervis parked one in the bay — and not even close to the only/best highlight. Really, be sure to check out Mike Tauchman’s catch in center field. It was awesome.
UPDATE: Oh, and hey: Chris Morel just added a 2-run single to give the Cubs a 4-0 lead.
