Baseball has been being played for like 700 years (give or take) and you’d think everything that could happen in a game has already happened in a game.
Lots of us baseball watchers can probably say rather confidently that we’ve seen it all. Been there, done that. Can’t be surprised by anything that ever pops up for the rest of time.
Well, then something happens in a minor league baseball game that erases all that confidence and leaves us in awe.
Check out this fair ball that was hit by Ernie Clement of the Columbus Clippers last night in Toledo. This thing just dug itself right into the Earth in front of the plate and stayed there:
One of the rarest things you will ever see in baseball…
Yes folks, that was a fair ball. 😂#LetsGoHens | #DetroitRoots pic.twitter.com/8wAyKmNPeb

WEIRD, RIGHT??!!
So what happened after that? Sadly there isn’t any video of that but we do know it went as a groundout to the catcher:
