Another Day In Baseball

Watch Chris Coghlan of the Toronto Blue Jays somersault over Yadier Molina of the St Louis Cardinals and reach home plate.  It happened last night.  In recent years we've seen this happen in the NFL a couple of times but, to my knowledge, it's never happened in baseball before. You can also watch it here.

It also prompted this tweet:

Umpire took an extra pause before he called Coghlan safe, presumably so he could reconsider what is possible in his perception of reality.

It was all part of what one ESPN.com writer called "The absolute craziest, strangest and saddest night of the season."
