It didn’t bounce off their heads like the famous Jose Canseco play (which, coincidently, celebrated its 24th anniversary Friday) but it was still a play that should make quite a few blooper reels.

The outfield of the Kannapolis Intimidators, who we assure you are a real team, then went into slapstick mode. The ball hit off the glove of center fielder Joel Booker, then bounced off the chest of left fielder Jameson Fisher and over the fence.

Probably the best thing about this is you couldn’t duplicate it again if you tried. Perhaps only if you were making a Rube Goldberg machine for dingers.
