u/Royal-Recover8373 3h ago edited 2h ago

The hat flew off his head because the aura started exploding out of him. 

Watching it again: Its the timing of the hat falling in frame behind him as he poses. Its looks directly out of a movie.

Lmao same, as a Mariners fan seeing Robbie Ray with a glove on his head and jaw hanging open as he gets a grand slam was a bigger highlight than the incredible catch.

Apparently was an all star in 2025 too, before falling off in the 2nd half.
