Aaron Judge completed his chase for 61 homers in a game against the Blue Jays on Wednesday with a blast to left field that cleared the fence and bounced back into the bullpen.
Unfortunately for a Blue Jays fan who came to the game fully equipped for just such a situation with a baseball glove, the 394-foot homer — which had an exit velocity of 117 mph, per Baseball Savant — went screaming toward the seats just a little too quickly.
Here’s a closer look.
The fan pulled his glove off in frustration and turned around with his hands over his head, accidentally (we assume) plunking his glove off the head of a fan standing behind him.
