... from Friday's Yankees-Red Sox game. A couple of questions here, of course: What if the ball had stayed perched atop the fence, instead of falling back onto the field of play as it did? And what's the ruling if, say, a large crow comes along and plucks the ball off the fence and flies off? Also, do you suppose the guy in the Red Sox jersey is as truly amazed as he looks here, or does he react that way to everything? "The vending machine is sold out of CornNuts? Whaaa?" Well, here's the video. And some other great photos from the Boston Globe. The result of the ...

... at Kauffman Stadium. There are plenty of things from the game that deserve notice. Josh Beckett's return to form (two runs allowed in 6.2 innings), for starters. Jason Bay's continued all-around gangsta-ness at the plate (four hits and two RBI), for another. Admit it, though: When you talk about tonight's win, the first thing you're going to bring up is Bay getting hosed by a fake force field on a home run even worse than Kevin Youkilis did last month .

... A similar play happened earlier this year when Kevin Youklis hit a ball that Johnny Damon nearly caught. In that game, the ball spun on top of the wall before dropping down. Now last night, the newest Boston Red Sox Jason Bay hit a shot that the Royals Mitch Maier almost caught. Instead it rolled along the top of the wall before Russ Gload grabbed it and threw it in. What are the chances? ...

After 13 1/2 seasons and 1,927 regular-season games, Johnny Damon finds himself on the disabled list for the very first time. The New York Yankees left fielder sprained and bruised his left shoulder after crashing into the left-field fence on a leaping catch during the Yankees' 6-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday. The swelling was worse on Sunday, and he was placed on the 15-day DL. The ...

This is definitely one of the strangest plays you’ll ever see during a baseball game. In the third inning of Friday’s Yankees-Red Sox game, Johnny Damon seemed to grab and hang onto a Kevin Youkilis drive — but as it turns out, Damon failed to make the catch. The ball slipped out of his glove and sat on top of the left field wall…

Hail Mary Jane
I’ve seen some pretty weird plays in major league baseball over the years (many of them involving Manny Ramirez ), but this one takes the cake and the fan’s expression with the arrow pointed at him says it all.
During the Yankees game yesterday with the Red Sox at Yankees stadium, Kevin Youkilis hit the ball to left field at Johnny Damon who we thought made the catch but not ...

One of the reasons why baseball has always been one of my favorite sports is that you see some incredibly weird stuff happen pretty regularly. And today was no exception.
In the 3rd inning of Friday's Sox/Yankees game at Yankee Stadium with runners on first and second, Kevin Youkilis pounded a ball to left field that Johnny Damon apparently caught. Instead, Damon snowconed the ...

A few little tidbits for this holiday evening:

Fenway West - The Boston Red Sox Western Home
The Sox know where to target their fly balls when playing the yanks: left field and Johnny Damon. In the third inning today, Ellsbury got on with a bunt, Pedroia hit a single to left, followed by a sac fly by Lowell, also to left. Youk hits a long ball to left, Damon leaps and gets a piece of it, but as it was not a clean in-the-pocket catch, the ball popped out of his glove and sat on top ...

Extra Bases
Johnny Damon just slammed into the wall in left field trying to make a catch on a Kevin Youkilis drive. The ball sno-coned in his glove and popped out as Damon smashed into the wall.
But the most amazing part is, after it came out, the ball dropped onto the top of the blue padding that marks the top of the wall and just sat there for a few beats. Eventually, it dropped onto the field side, ...
