MLB Fans Had So Many Jokes About Joey Wiemer’s Comically Bad Slide into Home /

In this story:

Milwaukee Brewers

The Reds and Brewers have had a very eventful series this week.

First, there was Elly De La Cruz’s absolute moonshot of a home run after the Brewers’ scoreboard crew trolled him with a funny message.

The same scoreboard crew had a perfect response to that the next day when De La Cruz came up to bat.

But neither of those funny moments might top what we saw in Wednesday’s series finale - Joey Wiemer’s absolutely laughable attempt to score in the third inning. This poor guy was never even close to being safe.

This photo should go right to the Baseball Hall of Fame:
