May 4 is recognized as "Star Wars Day" for its similarity to the phrase, "May the Force be with you".Fans of the Padres wasted little time referencing one of the most popular science fiction franchises of all-time. The quality of Star Wars is significantly lower than that of Star Trek, but that is neither here nor there.A home run like this is always worth celebrating, but the added flair of the plethora of Star Wars references makes Twitter's reaction especially noteworthy.The laser of a home run from Machado was posted to Twitter by the San Diego Padres' official Twitter account.San Diego Padres@PadresManny's leaving the yard at lightspeed #TimeToShine1373185Manny's leaving the yard at lightspeed 🚀 #TimeToShine https://t.co/sCla0p7x8H"Manny's leaving the yard at lightspeed" -@PadresIt was surprising how large of a crossover exists in the fandoms between Star Wars and baseball.San Diego Padres have a creative fanbase that provided great Twitter reactionsA ball hit that hard can complete the Kessel run in 11 parsecs!I think it's something about being on the West Coast that just makes fans more willing to have a fun time.
