New York Yankees left fielder Andruw Jones lost a fly ball in the sun during Thursday's MLB game in Yankee Stadium against the Texas Rangers.
It happened in the top of the sixth inning as Rangers batter Josh Hamilton hit a fly ball to deep left center field. Jones was in position to make the catch but completely lost the ball. Jones tried to make a blind attempt at a catch as he fell to the ground trying to protect himself, but the ball bounced a foot away from Jones and into the Rangers bullpen, resulting in a ground rule double for Hamilton.
It could have been worse for Jones. At least he didn't have onion rings dropped on him this time.
The Rangers scored two runs in the inning on the way to a 10-6 victory.
