MLB world reacts to Trump's win
Donald Trump will be the 45th president of the United States, after his surprising win in Tuesday's election.
Projected as an overwhelming underdog, the Republican nominee defeated Hillary Clinton handily and will now succeed President Barack Obama.
The result came as a tough pill for many in the baseball world to swallow, while others couldn't have been happier. Here are the best reactions from around the MLB world:

Tonight's result affects me none because I'm rich, white and male. Yet, it'll be a long time until I'm able to sleep peacefully.
