Cops called after Christian Yelich hits boat with baseball

Milwaukee Brewers star and reigning NL MVP Christian Yelich can absolutely rake.

He’s in the midst one of the greatest statistical seasons for a hitter in recent history. Yelich enters the final weekend before the All-Star Break hitting .328 with 31 homers and 67 RBI.

Yelich has also now accomplished another feat. In preparation for Monday night’s Home Run Derby, the star hit a ball completely out of PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Not only that, it hit a window of a boat parked in the Allegheny River. The cops were called. Yelich was not arrested.

Christian Yelich did a practice round for the Home Run Derby at PNC Park today with former Marlins coach Pat Shine. He broke the window of a boat parked in the Allegheny River outside right field. Cops were called, Yelich was not arrested.

The beauty of this story knows no bounds. Yelich literally went out there and broke the window of a boat parked in the Allegheny River. Just let that sink in for a second.

While this didn’t happen during a game, we’re still going to go ahead and reward Yelich with a homer. There’s nothing else left to be done here.
