Former Notre Dame baseball star [autotag]Trey Mancini[/autotag] has spent his entire professional baseball career with the Baltimore Orioles after being drafted in 2013 and debuting in 2016. He went from being a solid player to a fan-favorite nationally last year after he returned from beating colon cancer which cost him his entire 2020 season.
It had been widely speculated that Mancini would be moved by the Orioles before the MLB trade deadline and Monday that is exactly what happened as he was dealt to the Astros. That means that Mancini, who made 2,933 career plate appearances with the Orioles, saved perhaps his most memorable for his last as a member of the team at Camden Yards.
Mancini isn’t going to likely set and land-speed records but that is one heckuva way to end a his run in Baltimore. As for the inside-the-park home run ruling? I’ve always been told the ball has to touch a glove in order for it to be an error. I have no idea if that’s accurate but that must have been what was applied here.
I’m not thrilled its the Astros but all the best to Mancini as he gets to participate in a playoff run.
