A baseball landed in a scoreboard light on Fenway Park’s Green Monster and everyone was so confused

Fenway Park’s infamous Green Monster played some impressive defense on Wednesday night as one of its scoreboard lights literally caught a ball.

It happened as a Kansas City Royals slugger popped a ball all the way to back left field as Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida chased down the hit for an out.

Well, rather than Yoshida coming away with the snag, the ball broke through of the “out” lights on the Green Monster scoreboard. Yoshida searched for where the ball went, but it wasn’t until he saw the busted light that he found the ball inside.

It counted as a foul ball, saving the Red Sox a run as a Royals runner had a clear lane to make it home without the Green Monster’s scoreboard save.

This just doesn’t happen in baseball, much less an iconic baseball venue like Fenway Park. You can bet that the scoreboard light will be fixed immediately.

However, we’re all still very confused as to what exactly just happened.

MLB fans were so confused.

He hit this into a light that says “out.” That should be an out https://t.co/anplrdkvMn
