VIDEO: Avisail Garcia Gets Luckiest Inside the Park Homer Ever Because Tropicana Field is the Worst
By Scott Rogust
Tropicana Field is notorious among baseball fans for its weird design that in turn, changes the rules. The cavernous ballpark added to its reputation during Tuesday night's game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays. In the bottom of the third inning, outfielder Avisail Garcia hit a high pop up to right field. Randal Grichuk of the Blue Jays stood under the ball, only for it to bounce a good 20 feet behind him, which in turn, helped Garcia earn an inside the park home run.
Grichuk was confident that he would secure the easy fly out, but Tropicana Field had other ideas.
