Team Fortress 2 launched in 2007 as Valve's class based team shooter, and Scout quickly became its loudest character, a fast runner from Boston armed with a scattergun and an aluminum bat. His home run taunt and bat kills turned baseball slang into part of his identity, and players clipped the shout for montages long before soundboards made it portable. The Grand Slam label comes from that baseball framing, and the clip survives because one short boast works for sports plays, gaming wins and ironic fails alike.
