In this crazy 2016 election year, what do you do when you're confronted by a larger than life celebrity that's full of hot air, threatens to block all entry to the promised land, and has huge hands and fake looking hair?

You nutmeg 'em.

I forgot to post this earlier.

Giancarlo Stanton drives a home run off the scoreboard, about 60 above the fence.

Watch it. It's bonkers. They measured it at 462 feet, but that still doesn't seem right.

Oh, and a hell of time in Toronto tonight.

At almost EXACTLY the same moment Justin Smoak did this in the bottom of the 9th inning, Kyle Lowry did that with no time on the clock.

Of course, Justin Smoak finished things off right by doing this on the very next pitch he saw in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Sadly, DeMar DeRozan didn't finish things off well for the Raptors.
