Getting dunked on is perhaps the most humiliating thing that can happen to a basketball player. For baseball players, it's simply a photobombing opportunity in the midst of a postgame celebration.

Christian Yelich hit the game-winning RBI single in the 10th inning Friday night vs. Tampa Bay to give the Miami Marlins a 10-9 victory and their first win of the season. During Yelich's postgame interview, Dee Gordon, who scored the winning run, got some help from a teammate holding a miniature hoop to dunk on Yelich. The video tells the story.

The Marlins are counting on Yelich to bring them many more important hits, as he signed a seven-year, $49 million deal with the team last month.

"I completely forgot the question, I just got dunked on," Yelich said in the interview.

Don't forget to hit, Christian, and all will be well.
