At least Toronto Blue Jays fans know Chris Colabello is putting his all into Game 5 of the American League Division Series.
With his team down a run and two runners aboard in the third inning, the first baseman unleashed a huge swing on a Cole Hamels fastball.
Unfortunately for Colabello, he missed and hit the deck in the process.

Colabello's ambitious swing may have been going through the slugger's mind all day.
"One big swing and you can be remembered for a long, long time" -- Colabello to me before the game. I'm not sure that's what he meant.

Hamels would get Colabello to ground out five pitches later on a 85-mph changeup, keeping his team on top 2-1.
