Naaaa I’m good…
Jose must be hurting for cash lately. Isn’t there some kind of show like celebrity apprentice he can get on to make some $$?
Funny piece of history though, would make a great addition to any collection. Even better if you had the baseball too.
Why isn’t that a ground-rule double?
When an opposing player causes the ball to go over the fence then it is a home run. Sort of a penalty not to let stupid things like this happen to you on defense, also to discourage defenders from trying to knock balls that are close over the fence (to avoid a triple or to turn a home run into a ground rule double)
Jose Canseco felt silly after this play happened.
