This Corey Seager home run Tuesday night cost one fan about $10 and another trip to the concession stand.
An eighth-inning line drive from the reigning World Series MVP landed directly on a package of nachos as a young girl attempted to catch the ball with her pink-ish glove at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
As the ball crept just beneath her grasp, it slammed into a package of nachos, making a mess on the warning track dirt and causing stir about whether the ball actually landed in the seats.
“It is gone! Or is it in?” Rangers play-by-play commentator Dave Raymond said on the broadcast.
“All you gotta do is check the baseball. If there’s cheese on it, it’s gone,” Raymond joked as the umpires held Seager at second base while they reviewed the play.
Upon further review, Seager’s line shot was labeled home run as nacho cheese stuck on the railing, serving as further indication that it’s a home run.
“The ball is gone and so too are [the nachos] … Lost the nachos and didn’t even get the ball,” the commentary booth continued.
Seager’s home run cut the Phillies’ lead to 3-2 but the comeback fell short, as the Rangers lost, 5-2.
Cole Winn failed to hold the Phillies in the bottom of the eighth inning, helping steer their way to another Philadelphia victory and a 35-14 record.
The Phillies entered Wednesday in first place in the NL East, holding a six-game lead over the Braves while the Nationals, Marlins, and Mets continue to sink out of contention.
Philadelphia has had similar success off the field in recent days, as star first baseman Bryce Harper successfully helped a high school senior ask his date to prom this week.
