VIDEO: Christian Yelich Hits Bizarre Ground-Rule Double Through Hole in Oracle Park Wall
By Michael Luciano
The last two years have been filled with firsts for Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich. He won his first MVP award and he was the first player to hit 25 home runs this season. He also became the first player to hit a ball into the arcade area at Oracle Park in San Francisco, as a Yelich double slipped in between two sections of padding.
Wow, that's definitely never happened in the history of Oracle/ AT&T Park.

You really thought puny padding and walls could contain Yelich when he's been this hot?
After a ground rule double in his first at bat against Giants starter Jeff Samardzija, Yelich picked up right where he left off in his next at bat, flicking a double down the left field line to score Ben Gamel and give the Brewers a 3-2 lead.
After a Yelich double to right got stuck in the fence, in his next at bat he hits another double to left to score Gamel for 3-2 lead in 4th.

Even with Yelich being as hot as he is, he could try to replicate that 1,000 times and he'll never be able to.
