Key takeaways
- Los Angeles Angels right fielder Jo Adell made headlines in April when he robbed three home runs in one game.
- In a play he'd probably like to forget, Adell raced toward the right-field wall to track down a fly ball off TJ Rumfield's bat in the fourth inning of Tuesday night's game against the Colorado Rockies.
- Adell appeared to get under the ball for an easy out, but in a flashback to the infamous Jose Canseco play from May 1993, the ball nicked off his glove, then bounced off his head and over the fence for a home run.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
