Despite winning three straight games, the Philadelphia Phillies have one of the worst records in the MLB. To help them get out of the NL East basement they enlisted some big help from Westeros. The Mountain from Game of Thrones AKA Hafthór Björnsson was at the Phillies batting practice on Friday to pump them up.

Still not any worse of a swing than Ryan Howard.

Ben Revere shared this photo with the mountain of a man with a very confident hashtag of #illstillwininafight.

The Phillie Phanatic is just lucky that he didn’t squish his head.

The Phillies’ opponents, the Arizona Diamondbacks, didn’t like their chances against the Mountain.
.@Dbacks Instead of baseball tonight, trial by combat?

For some odd reason, I think the Mountain would make for a great baseball player. Wouldn’t you agree A-Rod?
