Fourth homer, he reveals a DUMP HERE 64 shirt. Fifth homer gets a little graphic and Temple of Doomy, but his sacrifice will be remembered.

The year is 2763. The GM for the Rockies steps to the podium. "We've signed international free agent Vladimir Guerrero LXI." Finally, after seven centuries, they're the 64th and final team to have a member of the Vlad line.

Same guy is responsible for the biggest "you eat pieces of shit for breakfast?" tweet in the history of the medium.
