Charlie Baker mocked Manny Machado’s World Series-ending strikeout

Gov. Charlie Baker says he took particular satisfaction in watching Manny Machado strike out to end the World Series.

Sporting a red #DoDamage sweatshirt at the Red Sox pre-parade reception Wednesday morning at Fenway Park, the Massachusetts governor relived — and reenacted — the Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop’s flailing strikeout for the final out of Game 5.

“That was sweet. Sweet!” a spirited Baker yelled, after fist-pumping to the crowd.

“When I saw Machado come up and I saw the look on Chris Sale’s face, my reaction was, ‘I cannot think of a better guy to go down for out number three,’” he continued.
