dongs are awesome, yay dongs!

[David]

I saw a Tweet on this going around and I decided I'd post it here for all the old fuddy duddies who don't mess with that. Hopefully this thread can just become a dong posting party.

 

I tried narrowing it down to one and I couldn't. These all came to mind for me... I was actually a little surprised at just how many awesome ones there have been from just this era.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope I didn't steal all the good ones!

All of David's are on my list. Some others.

(I know, but it was big at the time)

I didn't appreciate how lit this was until years later since I was so sad about the loss

[Liam Neeson]

All of these. Included bonus of the last time Heyward hit an opposite field HR.

 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This is the only major one I saw in person:

 

[ConstableRabbit]

Oh man, how did I forget this one? It came after the Cards were caught off guard from some bunting and were kicking the ball all over the IF. I was at the game and Busch was SILENT after this.

oh horsefeathers yes this was so horsefeathering awesome

[David]

soler didn't do that many awesome things, so i really appreciate how many of them were in or against st louis

[David]

that goofy dude politely applauding after schwarber's wild card game dong at the right of the bar crowd shot always cracks me the hell up

[Transmogrified Tiger]

My absolute favorites are probably Montero and Fowler.

 

For one not mentioned yet, Russell basically guaranteeing there was going to be a game 7 was great.

 

[Bertz]

For some reason the Aramis one against the Brewers is still my favorite by a pretty wide margin

[UMFan83]

I really needed this thread. It still boggles my mind that we have so many awesome postseason highlights to rewatch after only having a couple my entire life.

 

I know we lost this one but we won the series, making these 2 HRs awesome:

 

 

And of course Mr. Unclutch turns around the World Series with this HR

And finally, what might be one of the best regular season HRs ever

 

[Brian]

 

It doesn't get the love it deserves because the Cubs lost the game, but Jake donging Madison Bumgarner in the postseason in a #beliEVEN year was awesome

 

EDIT - ah, sniped by UMFan

[ConstableRabbit]

Oh my god how did I not think about that Kris game-tying dong. That series was SO sick!

He didn't end up being one of the core, Cardinals domination aside, but this was another one where it was like 'Hey, Cubs are here'

OK 2 more from that unclutch dude

 

 

(75% of this awesomeness of this HR is Strops strut down the 3B line)

 

And of course this one made possible by a bullpen implosion:

 

 

How about MLB debut HRs?

 

One of Javy's 11 PAs that didnt end in a strikeout his rookie season:

 

 

I miss the awesome raw power and strength of Jorge

 

 

And of course our old friend Starlin (sorry the audio sucks):

yep i'll always remember those few weeks in late 2014 as being the first time i saw the light at the end of the tank tunnel

in attendance that game down the right field line. sosa and alou back to back off of danny graves. dusty getting ejected was the icing on the cake.

[wekse]

 

Still the best moment I've ever seen in person.

there was a time (somewhere in the darkness of 2010-2014) where i would've thought you were insane if you told me that cubs era (07-08 in particular) wouldn't be my favorite by a wide mile. now i almost forget it happened.

 

that's definitely a great one.

[David]

i feel like this one deserves mention even though i had mostly forgotten about it

Dat bat speed.

[weis21]

 

Also never noticed the bat flip. freaking awesome

 

 

Too young to remember that one, personally, but Hawk was my childhood hero
