Let Us Revel in Willians Astudillo's Majestic Home Run in the Venezuelan Winter League

Early January is the year’s bleakest stretch for baseball. Winter Meetings have come and gone. There’s still a little more than a month until pitchers and catchers report, and there’s even longer until the start of Spring Training. The Hall of Fame’s election results might provide a brief respite, but that’s still weeks away, too. Last season now seems far away—last year—and next season seems just as far. But there is baseball, as there will be on January 11, as there has been throughout most of this seemingly empty stretch. Right now, specifically, there is the postseason for the Venezuelan Winter League, and there is this delightful highlight.
