No mariner had ever hit more than Ken Griffey Jr.
He did that, and he looks like the air conditioner repairman.
Yeah, Dan, that play has never happened in the history of baseball.
I'm pretty certain about that.
Jason Stark did all of this research and Project Score Sheet and all these people got involved.
I just can't.
cannot understand how that play could have happened.
It was a 400-foot grounded into double play when the ball essentially never hit the ground.
Now, this is all because Teoscar Hernandez, the runner at third, did not recognize that you have to tag up on that play.
A 12-year-old knows when the ball goes up in the air and you're at third base,
First thing you do is stand on third base until the ball is caught or until it hits the ground.
And as soon as it hits Sal Frelick's glove in center field, now you can tag up.
But he went halfway, then he went back to third base, and then by the time he got home, he was forced at the plate.
on an out on a ball that was hit 400 feet.
And then, of course, the only person who seemed to understand what was going on was William Contreras, the catcher, who then alertly ran to third base and tagged it because a forced play is still possible.
In play, bases loaded, a ball is hit that doesn't go over the fence and is not caught.
That means there is a forced play at every base.
I've never seen anything like that.
I will never see anything like that again.
I was on a flight from Toronto to Seattle with a bunch.
