Watch Rays outfielder smash into wall making heroic World Series catch
Rays left fielder Chandler Simpson made an unbelievable catch crashing into the wall to rob Brewers of extra bases.
In the second inning of the World Series on Monday night, Rays outfielder Chandler Simpson made a remarkable catch that saved his team from a potential scoring opportunity. During the play, Sal Frelick hit a ball to the short fence in the left-field corner at Tropicana Field. Simpson sprinted towards the ball at full speed, assessed the situation, and made a daring move to grab the ball at the wall.
The collision with the wall caused Simpson to fall back, but he managed to keep hold of the ball and prevent the Brewers runner from advancing to second base. Though Simpson appeared to sustain an injury during the play, he refused medical attention from the trainer and continued playing. The heroic catch was widely praised on social media.
