Watch Alex Gordon jump into the stands to make a catch
Sure, it wasn’t a good day for the Royals on Sunday.
Two losses in a span of a few hours is tough to swallow. But Alex Gordon showed once again why he’s the best defensive left fielder in baseball. He went into the stands to make a catch and even knocked over a White Sox fan.*
After the game, Gordon said of the play, “I just said, ‘Eff it’ and jumped into the stands.”
* There won’t be any suspensions coming out of that interaction.
Take a look (video from MLB.com):
A picture of Gordon on the ground after the catch by a fan in the right spot at the right time has made its way around the Internet and was even shown on TV.
Just saw my tweet on ESPN this morning. They read it aloud and showed it on screen and everything. Too cool @espn pic.twitter.com/L0Y6VRJM71
