Most ridiculous home run you will ever see. Not counting Canseco's off the dome

I've watched this 100 times, and I still can't see where there is irrefutable evidence the ball hit the foul pole. I was thinking they ruled it a HR since the ball was in his glove when his glove hit the pole, then he dropped the ball, i.e., his glove was an extension of the ball.

Gotta love it... Fenway and Yankee stadium. The only 2 ball parks where a little leaguer can pop one out.

I saw it hit the foul pole the 1st time I saw it

I still don't see it. It looks like it may have hit that support that juts out from the base of the pole, but not the face of the pole itself. The support is painted yellow too, so I assume it's considered HR territory.

Watch the slow mo at 15 second mark. Hits glove in the webbing, flys out of wedding, then bounces off pole back into glove. How else could it have got back into the glove?

I sat right in front of the pesky pole when Clemens faced Pedro in the playoffs. Clemens got knocked around. They were all calling him fat. 99

Just looks like it bounced around in the webbing after his glove hit the pole. Looks like his glove is between the ball and the pole the whole time.

it is impossible for the ball to bounce out and then bounce back in without hitting something.

Glove wide open, yet ends up back in the glove.

I don't know why you say "impossible". The glove could hit something while the ball is in it, causing the ball to pop out.

But, that still picture is better and does show the glove open. I just couldn't see that, even in slo-mo. Then again, I'm old
