Christian Yelich Breaks Boat Window During Home Run Derby Batting Practice

Christian Yelich is more than ready for this year's All-Star Home Run Derby, and there's a broken boat window in Pittsburgh to prove it.

According to Fox Sports Wisconsin reporter Sophia Minnaert, Yelich—who was in the middle of a practice session at PNC Park—hit a home run ball so hard, it broke the window of a boat parked beyond rightfield along the Allegheny River. Authorities were called as a result, but, as you'd expect, Yelich was not taken in for questioning.

“That’s how legends are made,” Ryan Braun said after hearing what Yelich had done, according to MLB.
