...and sometimes nice guys hit a Grand Slam for their first career homer 🐊⚾️🐊 . . . . (#FromTheSidelines When you’ve been covering an athlete since he was in high school, he’s from your hometown, and you know his family, you can’t help but be a “little” excited (& biased) when you actually get to document his first career home run (and a Grand Slam at that). Not to mention it’s so easy to pull for him because he’s one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Pitcher Kirby McMullen was put into the game to pinch hit in the bottom of the fifth inning with the bases loaded and the Gators trailing 4-3 to UCF. Then the Junior dropped this bomb into left field, clearing the bases and leaving McMullen to celebrate. Although I love the smile on Kirby’s face after he goes yard, I think my favorite frame is #5...seeing his teammates pouring out of the dugout and mobbing him because they’re so excited and happy for him. That’s gotta be a feeling he’ll never forget...along with seeing his ball sail outta The Mac) . . #youalwaysrememberyourfirst #352pride #homerun #grandslam #kirbymcmullen #gatorbaseball #baseball #collegebaseball @fhswildcatbaseball #ncaabaseball #womensnapsportstoo #baseballphotographer @d1baseballbuzz @baseballamerica #cyndichamberssports #NVRQT 🤙 (at Alfred A.
