A baseball is definitely not supposed to be thrown all the way up there
When you're at a baseball game, it's always key to remember that a baseball may find its way to you. You just wouldn't expect it to happen like THIS.
In Friday night's A's-Rangers game from Globe Life Park, something happened. It was a weird, wild and wacky scene, fitting for a Friday the 13th, actually. Here it is:

WHAT ON EARTH is happening, right? Why did Shawn Kelley chuck the baseball into the second deck behind home plate?
That's not ordinarily a thing you expect to see at a game. I've never seen it, personally, and I've been to hundreds of games in my life. And yet, there it is, the result of a time-out call by A's outfielder Mark Canha, who stepped out of the batter's box as Kelley was preparing to throw a pitch.
Look at where this landed. I assure you, nobody up there was expecting to catch a pitch. A foul ball, maybe, but definitely NOT a pitch.
On the other hand, Friday the 13th is supposed to be a bit ... odd.
It all makes sense now.
Adrian Garro joined MLB.com in 2016. Throughout his travels, both Bartolo Colon and Vin Scully have placed their hands on his shoulders. Not at the same time, though. That'd be amazing.
