Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell makes an unusual mistake during a game against the Colorado Rockies, where a misplayed fly ball ends up as a home run. According to reporting from both outlets, the ball drops in a way that leads Adell to mishandle the attempt to catch it, and the play results in the ball striking Adell’s head and bouncing away for a run rather than an out. The Winnipeg Free Press and Fox News both describe the moment as similar to a well-known Jose Canseco incident from 1993, where a ball caromed off his head for a home run. The accounts focus on the same incident and characterize it as an errant play that turns into extra bases for the opposing team. No additional context, such as inning timing, score impact beyond the home run, or managerial reactions, is provided in the supplied text. The reports agree on the essential facts: Adell misplays a fly ball, it hits him (described as his head/hat area), and the result is a home run for Colorado.
