On-field video showed the Astros’ stadium clearing out before Adolis Garcia even completed his HR trot

It has been quite the series for Texas Rangers slugger Adolis Garcia, and on Sunday, he got to experience what it was like to send an entire stadium to the parking lots.

Garcia — whose home run in Game 5 led to a benches-clearing incident and ejection — was back in the lineup for Game 6 of the ALCS in Houston. With the Rangers already up three runs in the ninth inning, Garcia shut down any hope the Astros had when he launched a grand slam into the Crawford Boxes.

At that point, every fan at Minute Maid Park knew that the series was heading into a Game 7. And they didn’t feel the need to stick around long enough to see Garcia complete his home run trot.

We could see that in an excellent video from the Rangers:

By the time Garcia got back to home plate, the aisles were full of fans heading to the exits.

Fans also loved that video. It captured the Astros’ defeated mood perfectly at that moment.

This was how Twitter reacted
