Social media powers up after Jackson Chourio's 449-foot home run breaks Brewers' scoreboard

The Milwaukee Brewers continue to have problems with their scoreboard, but they certainly won't mind making this specific repair.

Jackson Chourio's 449-foot smash in the third inning gave the Brewers a 2-1 lead over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night and damaged a small section of the video scoreboard.

It was the longest Brewers blast of the season. Light tower power … literally.

Former Wisconsin basketball star Sam Dekker was already skipping the sudden rookie of the year talk for Chourio a week ago and going straight to "best" talk.

But he might not be far off.

MLB.com's Sarah Langs noted that Chourio's smash put him in some elite company.

Here's a bit of social media reaction to Chourio inflicting damage on the scoreboard (and the baseball).
