Step aside (for today), Bartolo Colon — a new baseball heartthrob has emerged in the form of hefty White Sox reliever Matt Albers.
Albers, of course, burst onto the scene this year with his infamous “****ing like a cat” outburst in Toronto. He added onto his legacy today by randomly smashing a huge double (and running the bases like a goddamn champ) in the 13th inning against the Mets:

He later advanced to third base on a wild pitch before scoring the winning run on a Jose Abreu sacrifice fly:
