Alright, this is getting a little ridiculous …
Trevor Story just hit another home run, and at this point, who knows when he’s going to stop. With a home run in each of his first four Major League games (five total), it’s safe to say that Story may be off the hottest start in baseball history. Heck, take out the fact that he’s a rookie or that these are the first four games of his career; this would be an absurdly impressive start from Babe Ruth!
Understandably, the baseball world has acted appropriately, as has the entire state of Colorado. Here are some of the best social media reactions:
Not only did Trevor Story just homer in a fourth consecutive game, I think he hit it onto the concourse in deep left field, past bleachers.

This is just an elaborate April Fools joke, right?

It's going to be funny when the pitching prospects the Rockies will eventually get for Trevor Story don't work out.

Trevor Story delivers 2-run shot. HRs 1st 4 games of season shares record now Mays, McGwire, Nelson Cruz & Chili Davis.

Trevor Story has five home runs in four games, and one other single. And he bombed that last ball to the fro-yo stand in left.
