Brandon Crawford's Grand Slam Silences Pittsburgh Crowd

Supporting their team to the fullest, Pittsburgh Pirates fans have been very loud the entire NL Wild Card play-in game. So loud that they almost managed to cause a second inning drop in the outfield when Giants Joe Panik and Hunter Pence collided while catching a pop fly. That's what makes this clip of Brandon Crawford's fourth inning Grand Slam so compelling, how quickly aural bedlam transforms into absolute silence. If you listen to this crowd audio only clip of Crawford's bomb closely, you can pinpoint the exact moment Pirates fans's hearts break into two.
