FREDDY GALVIS: BUTTKICKER

I wanted to take a moment from my impending deportation from Chile to address Freddy Galvis' walk-off celebration.  He kicks butts.  He kicks them rather hard.  I went back and reviewed the Phillies' walk off wins this year and Freddy kicks the man with the walk off hit right square in the butt every time.  Let's review…

4/6/13: Kevin Fradsen hits a bases clearing double to walk off against the Royals.  It took awhile, but Freddy hits him with the Galvis Kick.

Breathing down your neck!

5/19/13: Erik Kratz and Galvis go back to back off of Aroldis Chapman to win the game against the Reds.  To the best of my knowledge no one kicked Freddy's butt.

Liu Kang Style

6/4/13: John Mayberry Jr. hits a home run to tie the game in the 10th and hits a walk off grand slam in the 11th.  This was also the most devestating Galvis Kick of them all.  If you watch the video, you can see JMJ take at least 5 Galvis Kicks.

He has no idea what's about to happen.

SMPhH, ouch.

6/17/13: Domonic Brown hits a walk off single as the Phillies beat the Natinals (sic) 5-4.  Perhaps the sneakiest Galvis Kick of the bunch.

WHAA-BAM!!

6/22/13: Kevin Fradsen saves the day again as he rescues the bullpen from being publicly executed.  His reward?  A J-Roll crotch chop and Galvis Kick.

Not the best Galvis Kick, but still effective.

It looks like this tradition is here to stay.  To go along with the shaving cream pie to the face, a walk off winner takes quite the beating.  Next time you do something exceptional, look out behind you as a Galvis Kick could be coming your way.
