Baseball fans were surprised on Monday night when they tuned in the MLB home run and saw something that they had probably never seen in the event, a field dance that stole a homer.
The surprising moment occurred in the final round of the derby when the toleter of Tampa Bay Rays Junior Caminero tried to overcome the star of the Seattle sailors, Cal Raleigh.

Caminero hit a deep shot to the left garden, but one of the gardeners, who are generally scheduled to recover the balls that do not leave the park, apparently wore a home run of the Rays player.
The ESPN emitters mentioned that the legend of the Chicago puppies, Ryne Sandberg, the same thing happened during his attempt to win the Derby of home runs about 40 years ago. The biggest difference was that a high school baseball team was in the baseball garden.
Even so, fans were in shock.
Caminero still had a legitimate shot to overcome Raleight in the derby, but fell short. Raleigh won the contest, 18-15.

“Big Dumper”, as he is affectionately known, is the first receiver to win the event since he started four decades ago. Raleight is also the second player of the sailors to win, since Ken Griffey Jr., the member of the Hall of Fame that was in the observation of the bank, was the only one before this performance.
“Anyone who has played baseball when a child dreams of things like this,” said Cal. “I dreamed of that. He dreamed him. When you are a father, you look at him differently because you want your children to be happy.”
Raleigh advanced to the final round thanks to a tiebreaker with Brent Rooker from Athletics. Raleigh connected a longer home run than Rooker 470.61 feet at 470.53.

On Tuesday, Raleigh will represent the sailors in the game of the stars.
The game will take place in Truist Park, the House of the Braves of Atlanta. It will be transmitted in Fox at 8 pm et.
