New York Yankees third baseman Oswald Peraza made a very tough catch in foul territory against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. And then he tripped and went headfirst over the tarp.
Rangers shortstop Josh Smith hit a towering fly ball that refused to get out of play, which allowed Peraza to settle under it right before he caught it and fell down. As an upside down Peraza's legs waved in the air, third base umpire Brock Ballou ran over to check to see—not if Peraza was O.K.—but to make sure he had held onto the ball.
