I don’t know about the rest of you, but it sure seems to me like there have been an awful lot of little league home runs in the major leagues this year. It feels like I’ve been waking up to at least one or two a week. I don’t know if that’s true, but there have definitely been tons of them this week alone so I’m just going to say I’m right and let you enjoy this amusing compilation of them.
I don’t know which one is my favourite, but this one courtesy of the Giants and Diamondbacks is up there because it’s not every day you see a guy get drilled in the bean, then dust himself off and make it anyway.

Giants center fielder Harrison Bader got a decent bounce from Carroll’s first-inning drive deep into left-center, and launched the ball toward third base. The relay throw, made nearly from the infield dirt, was accurate in a sense: Carroll, who had lost his helmet after rounding first base, received the ball directly to the back of his skull. As the ball rolled away, he rallied and scored easily.
