Rangers fans had an absolutely miserable day watching Jose Bautista and the rest of the Blue Jays stomp on Cole Hamels in Game 1 of the ALDS.
However! People who stuck it out till the end of the game did get to witness a Rangers fan show off his arm while throwing back Joey Bats’ three-run home run ball. Seriously, dude launched the ball all the way back to Elvis Andrus at short:
When you and your teammates get the homerun ball and then throw it back cause we don't want none of bautistas homeruns #rangers pic.twitter.com/cj1WpbNVtL

Most throwbacks aren’t that impressive, so kudos to this guy for making the lone positive Rangers highlight of the day. (Though it’s probably worth noting the thrower is apparently a college baseball player.)
Update: Brookhaven College player Garrett Schulze is the man with the cannon.

The Dallas Morning News’ Tim Cowlishaw confirmed the crazy throw on Twitter:
