It's a tradition in major league baseball that if you hit a walkoff, like Josh Hamilton did for the Texas Rangers when he belted a two-run double in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the Rangers a 4-3 win over the Boston Red Sox, you're going to get got. Be it a pie in the face or a cooler of sports drink poured all over your head, you will not head to the locker room clean by any stretch of the imagination.
But it isn't just the player who has to watch out for a sneak attacker. The on-field reporter, commissioned with interviewing the star of the game following his walk-off, is sitting in the center of the splash zone. Emily Jones was that reporter today, and she couldn't escape the giant cooler of Powerade that Elvis Andrus doused all over her as she attempted to speak with Hamilton after his game-winning double.
