You know the saying "What goes up must come down"?
Apparently that doesn't apply at Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay. During yesterday's Rays game against the Boston Red Sox, Rays center fielder B.J. Upton hit a high fly ball up into the catwalks near the top of the stadium...but it never came back down into the field of play.
The baseball hit by Upton in the bottom of the sixth inning got stuck in the catwalk near a bank of lights in the upper part of Tropicana Field, which forced the third base umpire to make the call based on the baseball's path in the air. In the end, the ump's call was a foul ball and the play was dead.
