VIDEO: KBO Player Misplays Pop Fly off His Head But it Bounces Right to His Teammate
By Daniel Lubofsky
More often than not, routine fly balls are exactly that, mundane aspects of your average baseball game that rarely provide any theatrics. The MLB will surprise us now and again with an infamous gaffe on what should be an easy out, not unlike Louis Castillo's as a member of the New York Mets back in 2009. In this instance, however, it's the Korean Baseball Organization that provides the theatrics.
Well, it wasn't the ideal method, but the team still retired the batter on the play, thanks to the positioning of the left fielder, and a whole lot of luck.
The victim of this admittedly hilarious blooper is Shin Bon-gi of the Lotte Giants. Bon-Gi, ould remain in the game, though we imagine he suffered from a few headaches for the remainder of the evening.
