SEATTLE (LEX 18) There are few things more American than Eagles and Baseball. When you combine the two, you have a .gif worthy moment.
Former UK Baseball standout and Seattle Mariners pitcher James Paxton had a viral moment after an eagle made a perfect landing.
The hilarious moment was turned into a .gif that has been shared over and over again.
