Once in a blue moon, an athlete will have an unfortunate thing happen at their expense that overshadows their future exploits. On Tuesday, Baltimore Orioles outfielder DJ Stewart was that athlete, and he hopes this doesn't linger. During Baltimore's game against the New York Yankees, Stewart attempted to make a diving catch to rob Mike Ford. The thing is, Stewart mistimed his dive, and as a result, the ball ricocheted off his noggin, allowing a double from Ford. While it looked comical at regular speed, that does no justice to what slow-motion showed fans.

Poor DJ Stewart. It happens to the best of athletes, but to his chagrin, he'll be the brunt of jokes from baseball fans. Well, until another MLB player makes an unfortunate error.
