CLEVELAND– Exactly one year ago today, Tyler Naquin became a legend of rock star proportion in Cleveland.
Heading into the bottom of the ninth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays on Aug. 19, 2016, the Indians were down 2-1.
The Tribe tied the game after Jose Ramirez hit a solo bomb to right field off of Toronto’s Roberto Osuna on a changeup pitch.
The next batter up was Naquin. On a 1-2 pitch, Naquin drove a ball to deep right field that most thought was out of the park. Instead, it bounced off the wall with Jays right fielder Michael Saunders unable to make the catch on the warning track.
