Steven Kwan had a Jose Canseco moment Friday night when a fly ball bounced off the top of his head. The only difference for Kwan from Canseco’s famous gaffe bounced off his head and over the wall for a home run, whereas the ball that treated Kwan’s head like a springboard was a foul ball.
It happened in the sixth inning when Nick Gordon of the Twins lofted a fly ball down the left field line, and it appeared to hit the protective netting before dropping like a rock on top of Kwan.

The same thing happened to White Sox outfielder Luis Robert in 2021, though the ball that hit him in the head ricocheted like a rocket and landed for a run-scoring hit.
(Look away, Chicago)
(Seriously, look elsewhere)
This is my favorite play in baseball history. I am going to watch it whenever I feel down. pic.twitter.com/6vATixAd0N
