Jung Ho Kang Threw His Helmet, Created a Stunning Gum Explosion

Jung Ho Kang’s potential game-winning line drive turned into a hard-luck double play in the bottom the ninth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Perhaps knowing that the game would go 15 innings and adversely affect fans who have office jobs, the Pirates infielder was understandably frustrated.

We know this because he reared back and fired his helmet directly into a bucket of individually wrapped bubble gum. The moment of impact created a wonderful opportunity for the super slow-motion replay to shine. It also created quite a mess.

The cleanup process was made a bit happier after Pittsburgh eventually prevailed, 9-8.
