Christian Yelich Literally Broke a Boat Window in the Allegheny River During Home Run Derby Practice
By Jerry Trotta
Seriously, is there anything that Christian Yelich can't do?
With the 2019 Home Run Derby just three days away, the eight sluggers involved are prepping for the compelling event with scheduled batting practices. We've seen Vladimir Guerrero Jr, who just so happens to be Yelich's first round opponent, effortlessly launching moonshots into the Rogers Centre sky.
And somehow, Yelich has managed to top the Blue Jays' rookie phenom on Friday by reportedly breaking the window of a parked boat in the Allegheny River on the outskirts of PNC Park during his practice session.
Just when you thought he couldn't possibly flaunt any more power, the 2018 National League MVP goes out and does something of this unthinkable variety.
The Allegheny River is notoriously difficult to hit home runs into, despite Josh Bell mashing two into it this season.
The 27-year-old superstar even took the time to acknowledge his work on Twitter. And it was the most Yelich response we've ever seen.
Thankfully, however, Yelich won't have any boats to aim at come Monday night at Progressive Field, but he'll manage just fine.
After all he's clubbed a league-leading 31 dingers so far this season.
