Highland centerfielder pulls a Jose Canseco, gives up home run after ball bounces off his head
Jose Canseco was mostly known for his offensive prowess ... and that one unfortunate defensive play.
Emulating Jose Canseco is always a dangerous thing. Unfortunately for one Highland Community College player, he found that out the hard way during a game against Butler on Thursday. With the game tied 1-1 in the third inning, a Butler player drove a ball deep to center field.
The center fielder gave chase to the ball, which looked like it was going to fall a few feet short of the wall. He got into position, put his glove up to make the catch … and missed it. Instead, the ball bounced directly off the centerfielder’s head and all the way over the high wall in the outfield for a home run.
It didn’t look pretty. BSB vs Highland (G1) | B3 OFF THE DOME! @tvyas08 launches a ball to deep centerfield that bounces off the head of the Highland centerfielder and goes over the centerfield wall for a two-run home run!
