Royals’ Jarrod Dyson is up for defensive play of the year in the majors
No way that just happened.
That’s what David Spade’s character said in “Tommy Boy,” when the deer awoke in the back of his car. And it’s what baseball fans throughout baseball when Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson made a home-run robbing catch on a ball hit by Miami’s Christian Yelich.
Let’s all watch it again, because it was incredible:
That catch is up against four also-rans as part of the Esurance MLB Awards. You can vote here. Voting ends on Nov. 11 at 1 p.m.
Going back to “Tommy Boy,” that catch also could be described by what Chris Farley said: “I swear: I’ve seen a lot of stuff in my life, but that ... was ... awesome!”
