Seattle Mariners: Ty France home run could be most ironic ever

Seattle Mariners fans could well be saying “Vive la France” after the season that Mariners first baseman Ty France is putting together in 2022. However, France (the player) took the whole celebration of the country that shares his last name to a whole other level on Monday afternoon.

Ty France of the Seattle Mariners could not have found a better place to hit a home run on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels

In the top of the seventh inning in a Monday road matinee, France launched his 20th home run of the season, giving the Seattle Mariners a huge advantage. But it wasn’t just the home run that caught the eye of people watching the Mariners-Angels matchup. See if you can see what makes this home run have plenty of France connections.

Did you see where the ball landed? Did you see the sign it flew over on its way over the fence?

If that isn’t a perfect placement for a France home run, there just may never be such a thing.

France has been a big reason why the Mariners are on the cusp of snapping a postseason drought that has enveloped the Pacific Northwest since 2001. However, Monday’s win was the first in four games against the Angels in the series as the Mariners begin a three-city, 10-game road trip through Los Angeles, Oakland, and Kansas City.

The home run was part of a big day for France, who went 2-for-4 with four RBI. It helped snap him out of a funk through the first three games of the series that saw him go just 2-for-14.
