Max Kepler cheat coded Trevor Bauer

When I was a wee lad, one of the games I played on my family’s Nintendo 64 was Ken Griffey Jr.’s Slugfest, which might be the greatest bad baseball game of all time. One day, my older brother showed me a cheat code that would allow Ken Griffey Jr. to hit a home run no matter the pitch or how badly you swung.

Of course, as a young, naïve child, I only thought this was possible in video games. There was no way someone could just launch homers at will in real life like that.
