Cubs fan gets his beer destroyed by Stephen Piscotty's first-inning homer

Imagine you're a Chicago Cubs fan with tickets to Game 4 of the NLDS, hoping and wishing that the Cubs can win, wrap up the series with the St. Louis Cardinals and advance to the next round of the postseason.

You're in your bleacher seat with your beer, ready for the first inning. But then, on the fourth pitch of the game, Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty hits a deep blast right at you. Not only does it clear the fence for a homer, but it destroys your beer.

No beer, a two-run deficit. And it was only the first inning!

Our condolences to this Cubs fan, whose excitement for a clincher — possibly the first playoff series ever to be won at Wrigley — was quickly washed back to reality.
