Chris Young is way taller than Royals teammate Mike Moustakas
After five-plus hours of rainy-day baseball, a sacrifice fly off the bat of Eric Hosmer lifted the Kansas City Royals to a victory in Game 1 of the 2015 World Series on Tuesday night. Pitcher Chris Young (who walked away with the win) and Mike Moustakas (who had two hits and an RBI) both played key roles in the win, and decided to celebrate after the game with an good ol’ bro hug.
Young, if you remember, is the tallest active player in the majors, standing 6-foot, 10-inches tall. Moustakas, who is an even six feet, is nearly a foot shorter, which made the photo of the postgame embrace appear more like Young hugging one of his kids than a fellow teammate.
If pulling out a come-from-behind victory in the World Series seemed like a tall task, just ask Moustakas what it’s like attempting to hug Young.
(I’ll see myself out.)
