The moment Adam Dunn took the mound for the White Sox, the baseball-loving folks on Twitter shifted into high gear.
EVERYONE, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND TURN ON CSN!!! ADAM DUNN IS PITCHING AND IT'S ... IT'S ... IT'S JUST AWESOME.
— Jeremy Werner (@WernerESPNCU) August 6, 2014This was something you don't see every day. Or ever, really. And you're just glad to be a part of the must-see action.
Dunn, the White Sox's 6-6, 285-pound DH/first baseman, owner of 457 career home runs, pitched the ninth inning against the Rangers. His team trailed 15-0 entering the frame.
Why would every channel not immediately switch to Adam Dunn pitching like it's an emergency?
— Chad Moriyama (@ChadMoriyama) August 6, 2014Let me get this straight, @twitter: you send me alerts when random people favorite my tweets but don't alert me WHEN ADAM DUNN IS PITCHING?!
— Rany Jazayerli (@jazayerli) August 6, 2014The first batter he faced, Elvis Andrus, grounded out to second.
He wound up allowing one run on a couple hits and a walk, but nobody really cared about that. Adam Dunn was pitching, and it was glorious.
Adam Eaton on Adam Dunn's pitching: "I haven't laughed like that on a baseball field in a long time." #WhiteSox
