Adam Dunn Pitched An Inning Because The Baseball Gods Are Good (VIDEO)

WATCH: Proof That The Baseball Gods Are Good

Adam Dunn pitched an inning on Tuesday night. Yes, Adam Dunn, the hulking 285-pound slugger with 457 career home runs, took the mound in the ninth inning for the Chicago White Sox.

Trailing 15-0 to the Texas Rangers at the time, Dunn pitching might have been the only thing (besides a miraculous comeback) that could make the White Sox fans at U.S. Cellular Field happy. Even Rangers star Adrian Beltre seemed to be impressed.

Dunn ended up throwing 22 pitches while allowing two hits, a walk and a run, all with a smile on his face. He walked off the field to a standing ovation.

“I haven’t laughed on a baseball field like that in a long time,” center fielder Adam Eaton said after the game, per CSNChicago.com. “It takes you back to the glory days and like I said, he had good sink, that’s all I can say."

Dunn, who apparently had been "begging" White Sox manager Robin Ventura to pitch for a while, didn't just please the White Sox fans. Those on Twitter could not believe what was taking place.
