All eyes are on today’s NFL Draft, but I doubt it’ll produce anything like what Major League Baseball<\/a> gave us Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Not one, but two “once-in-a-lifetime” moments, which is saying something given baseball is, after all, America’s oldest pastime. Alas, you still see things you’ve never quite seen before, even 200 years after<\/em> Abner Doubleday invented this great game.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know that piece of history is widely debated. But, I stand with our great civil war general!<\/p>\n

Anyway, where should we start? Let’s go in chronological order, shall we? Let’s first head out to Texas, where Pirates slugger Oneil Cruz hit a home run to a place I’m fairly certain no ball has ever landed …<\/p>\n

On top of the foul pole:<\/p>\n

Goodness gracious. Have you ever seen a ball land there? I certainly haven’t, and I’ve played, and watched, a lot of baseball over the past 20 years. Never seen that before. Impressive.<\/p>\n

Just for good measure, Cruz’s piss missile clocked in at a solid 116.9 mph exit velo, making it the hardest-hit ball this season. Analytics tells us it traveled 432 feet, which, frankly, seems low to me. But whatever.<\/p>\n

Cruz, by the way, holds the MLB record for hardest-hit ball of the statcast era at 122.9 mph last season.<\/p>\n

“That ball was killed,” Pirates manager<\/a> Don Kelly said.<\/p>\n

Yep. Sure was. Solid analysis.<\/p>\n

So was this one, a few minutes later, in Seattle:<\/p>\n

Again, I’m quite certain that I’ve never seen that<\/em> before. Pitchers take liners off<\/a> the body all the time. It’s one of the more (most?) dangerous aspects of the game.<\/p>\n

But for one to land inside the jersey? Never seen it. What are the odds of that happening? They have to be astronomical, right? Everything has to line up perfectly.<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t quite understand why this wasn’t ruled an out. Seems silly to me. The ball never hit the ground. What are we doing here?<\/p>\n

Technically, though, the MLB rulebook does<\/a> state that a catch must be made with a glove or barehand, “providing he does not use his cap, protector, pocket or any other part of his uniform in getting possession.”<\/p>\n

Fine. Whatever. Fair is fair, and I reckon this was the right call. Still seems lame to me.<\/p>\n

And I’m quite sure Abner Doubleday would’ve agreed!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
