Need the perfect reaction GIF for any situation? MLB’s got your back
It's become the unofficial language of the Internet: Someone does something, someone else has feelings about it, and those feelings can only be expressed through the perfect moving image -- the reaction GIF.
You've probably got a handful close by, ready to deploy at any moment. Maybe it's an octopus sprinting away as fast as it can. Maybe it's George Michael Bluth crumpling to the ground. Maybe it's Tyra Banks telling your former protege and greatest disappointment that WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU.
No matter what your flavor of choice, there's simply no way to process the plot twists and petty grievances of the world wide web without them. But how can you be sure that you've got the perfect GIF for the situation at hand? How can you know that there isn't a better option out there, waiting for you?
With our handy MLB reaction GIF guide, that's how. Pick an emotion -- the embarrassment of responding "you too" after someone's wished you a happy birthday, the frustration of being stuck on a seemingly endless reply-all chain -- and there's a 100-percent chance that a baseball player has gone through it before (and encapsulated it on his face).
