Brett Phillips delivered on the biggest hit of his life in Game 4, but his reaction to winning the game was so pure.

In a matter of seconds, what would have been a seemingly impossible 3-1 hole to dig themselves out of became a tied World Series for the Rays. Even though it’s still a 2-2 series, this somehow felt like more than just a single game win for Tampa Bay.
Phillips is also the owner of a “Hall of Fame laugh”, which actually sounds like a
There’s literally nothing to hate about this guy.
