With Jose Canceso trending for some reason, let's remember one of the greatest plays in baseball history, when a fly ball bounced off his head for a homer!
I was at this game!!

It was 1993, and the Indians were a very young, very talented, but not very good team. It was the final season in wretched old Cleveland Stadium.
Carlos Martinez, a journeyman 1B, hit a long fly ball to center. The rest is history.

Cleveland Stadium was huge (seating 75,000) and no one in my section could see what happened. There was no video scoreboard then. We thought it was an out, but Martinez started circling the bases. WTF? Then a dude with a radio in front of me started laughing hysterically.
Texas announcers are laughing so hard they can barely carry on!
Canseco was interviewed after the game, holding an ice pack to the spot on his head where he got clobbered by the ball!
You just can't make up this shit.
