Any true fan of the sport knows that baseball is a weird game often dictated by random chance. And as we learned during the Baltimore Orioles and Oakland Athletics’ matchup on Saturday, it’s also bound to show us things we’ve (probably) never seen before.
At the top of the fourth inning, Baltimore’s Austin Hays blasted a monster of a home run into left field. It hit the foul pole. The story does not stop here. As Hays began rounding the bases, the ball was actually stuck in the fencing of the foul pole. A fan sitting nearby would eventually retrieve the ball.
