Former major league outfielder Eric Byrnes retired from baseball in 2010. But as he showed Thursday night at Yankee Stadium, the MLB Network analyst still has skills for tracking fly balls.
With the Marlins leading the Yankees by one run in the top of the fifth inning, Miami shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria popped up a foul ball into the right-field stands. Byrnes, who was at the game with his family and was carrying his son in one arm, saw the ball coming his way and made a sensational, one-handed diving catch before unleashing an animated celebration full of fist pumps and whooping.
