On May 26, 1993 in a baseball game, Cleveland Indians player, Carlos Martinez, hit a long fly-ball that should have been an easy out. Fortunately for him, Jose Canseco of the Texas Rangers was playing Left Field at that time. Canseco ran back to catch it, stumbled a little bit, and the crowd watched as the ball hit him in the head and bounced over the fence for a home-run. This is the only known occurrence of this Keystonian error ever occurring and it will live forever in sports bloopers reruns, as the game was recorded live on TV.
