Baseball stopped in its (race/warning) tracks to watch American Pharoah win the Triple Crown

On Saturday evening, American Pharoah became the first horse in 37 years to win the Triple Crown. Now, we know you're reading this on a baseball website, but this is not what happened:

It's actually kind of strange that you thought a horse could have won baseball's Triple Crown before. You're a weirdo, but we like it. Also, we agree with you that  "American Pharoah" could have been a great baseball nickname.

No, the racehorse won the Belmont Stakes on Saturday after victories at the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, becoming the first since Affirmed in 1978 to win horse racing's Triple Crown. The entire nation stopped to watch, even if they were in the middle of doing something else.

Like, you know, playing baseball:

@Reds Thanks for playing the Belmont on the scoreboard! Would've hated to miss that.

So, now that the race is over, what happens? 

I think they should give American Pharaoh to Miguel Cabrera.

Two Triple Crown winners hanging out -- what sounds more fun than that?
