Matt Olson
Matt Olson, a first baseman for the Atlanta Braves, realised his ambition yesterday in Pittsburgh when he hit a grand salami he’ll never forget. You might be asking yourself, “What makes this home run so special?” after all, Olson has hit many home runs over his career and will continue to do so.
What makes this one unique is that the lefty hit the ball so far that it left the stadium and fell into a river, and he stood there admiring his absolute bomb, which everyone knew was going to fall into the Allegheny River, while sporting a golfer’s pose. In a post-game interview, he was surprisingly modest about it, saying “It was a good one. It felt good.”

What a game it had been for Matt Olson
What a game it was for Olson, who not only hit two doubles but also finished the game with a grand slam that left the park in the eighth inning. He’s been a dynamo in his first season with the Braves, putting up 66 extra-base hits, which ranks third in the league, and 39 doubles, which ranks second in the league. He ought to be locked and loaded on all mixed-league rosters. The slugger is batting overall. 27 home runs, 87 RBI, and a slash line of 250.334.496 through 126 games.
It’s seems a Matt Olson has achieved it all from intercepting a quarterback and returning it for a pick six, blasting a home run out of PNC park and into a river, and sprinting down the lane and dropping a two-handed, follow-up slam and some unfortunate opponent’s head.
Olson must have felt awestruck as he circled the bases knowing that the entire crowd was in awe of what he had just accomplished. They’d take another bite of their hot dog and say, “There goes that guy who just hit a grand slam into a gosh-darn river!”
