The more beautiful thing is I don't even think he's from America, but yet he still did this to show support for the country he plays in and the fans he was playing for. Beautiful moment

This man saved baseball and is an amazing human being. Put him in the hall

Say what you want about the guy, but this was so damn special

[alexalvarez]

And people nowadays think having an American flag is racist. Prob would be canceled if he did this today. Ugh

[scottrobertson]

This is why I think the wrong person broke the record that year.

Rob Manfred would have fined him if he was commissioner. Baseball used to be so much better.
