GIF: Peter Bourjos Hits Figurative, Literal Bomb

The other night, Gorgeous P. Bourjos of the Los Angeles America Angels hit a home run, which, being a home run, means it was a figurative bomb, even if it was an inside-the-park home run, which it was. As well, the curious behavior of first-responding outfielders Josh Willingham and Denard Span suggests that it was also a bomb in the literal sense. Click twice and bear awed witness:

That’s not a literal bomb, you say? Then why is Mr. Span dropping it like … a bomb and then backpedaling with Mercury’s haste? And why is Mr. Willingham scrambling to get safely below the forthcoming blast field? Hmmm?

It was a bomb, so shut up.
