Minor Leaguer Drills Grand Slam, Shatters Own Windshield

By Josh Helmuth

Gateway Grizzlies player Brandon Thomas hit a grand slam Sunday during what was a huge 17-6 win over the Joliet Slammers. The only problem? He also slammed his own windshield in the process.

Thomas tweeted out, “Definitely worth it!!” He was also featured on Sportscenter Monday evening. 

Here’s the video:

 

And the response from the Grizzlies, who, like any minor league team would, are eating this up.

The Grizzlies play in the Frontier League, which is independent minor league ball separate from Minor League Baseball and MLB. Thomas is a former draft pick of the New York Yankees.
