In a shocking display of raw power and disregard for the sanctity of stitched leather, Byron Buxton was officially charged with the murder of a baseball Wednesday evening after sending a slider into orbit.

Buxton showcased his remarkable skills: first with a diving catch to save a run and then hitting the longest home run of his career.
