During Game 4 of the ALDS between Houston and Kansas City, 21-year old Astros shortstop Carlos Correa made MLB history by becoming the youngest shortstop to ever hit a home run during the playoffs. He is also the youngest Astro to hit a dinger during the postseason (Earlier in the series, Correa had already made history by becoming the youngest Astros player to hit a single in the postseason as well).
Carlos Correa is the youngest player in Astros franchise history to hit a postseason HR.

The only players in MLB history to hit a postseason home run at a younger age than Correa are Andruw Jones, Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Miguel Cabrera and Mickey Mantle.
Correa would later double to give his team a 3-2 lead against the Jays.

In other words, Carlos Correa is having a pretty good day at work.
EDIT: A very, very good day at work.
#BOOM. @TeamCJCorrea just crushed his second home run of the game and the #Astros now lead 5-2 and this place has lost its mind. #HustleTown
