THE STORY
On May 26, 1993, during a game between the Texas Rangers and the Cleveland Indians at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Indians batter Carlos Martínez hit a deep fly ball to right field. Rangers outfielder José Canseco misjudged the ball, which struck his head and bounced over the fence for a home run, contributing to the Indians' 7-6 victory. Canseco humorously commented, "I thought I had it... it grazed my glove, hit me in the head and bounced over." (latimes.com)
