Twitter reaction: Rajai Davis walk-off Grand Slam for Detroit Tigers

Mere seconds after Rajai Davis launched a ball deep into the Detroit night, the Twitterverse exploded on Monday night after seeing one of the more rare feats in baseball, an “ultimate” walk-off Grand Slam to turn a three-run deficit into a one-run victory for YOUR Detroit Tigers.

Let’s take a look at some of the most interesting Tweets, shall we?

How about this for coincidence?

Before tonight the #Tigers last #walkoff grand slam was June 27, 2004. That day the Tigers celebrated the 20th reunion of 1984 team.

The rarefied air of Davis’ feat that we discussed above:

Fitting with Alan Trammell in attendance, no?

Some things never change…

#Tigers & #Athletics played a great game in the D tonight. A possible October preview. What's on http://t.co/h1xdPWdGUj? #Yankees of course.

This is a given…

The #Athletics must REALLY hate the #Tigers now.

And though it was only a regular season game in June, I think this is a moment many of us will also remember for a long time. Thanks Rajai.
