Some things in baseball are so simple and easy to do, things that are so simple and easy that we often take them for granted.
Like seeing a catcher throw the ball back to the pitcher. Nothing usually goes wrong there, right? The catcher throws the ball to the pitcher who catches the ball and the game slowly goes on.
There’s really nothing easier in baseball than the ‘ol throw back to the pitcher.
Well, OK, sometimes things can go wrong with this very simple thing and that’s what happened yesterday in Cleveland and it was pretty darn hilarious.
Cleveland catcher Austin Hedges went to throw the ball back to Cal Quantrill but instead he fired it off Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran’s helmet.
For real. This happened. And Duran’s “did that just really happen?” reaction to it all was pretty great:
