Playing outfield in the major leagues, is one of the most visible and potentially unforgiving positions in all of sports. It involves judgment, correctly guessing when and where a ball in flight will land.
And if you guess incorrectly, you get to become a gif. That’s the world Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna is living in this morning.
During Wednesday night’s game against the Dodgers, Ozuna jumped up on the outfield wall to catch a ball hit by Los Angeles’ Kike Hernandez. Except for one major problem. the ball landed nowhere near the wall.
Ozuna certainly gets an A for effort, in jumping off the wall to try and make-up for his error. However, his futile attempt and subsequent faceplant ensures his spot in internet infamy.
