For all of the brilliant plays that Derek Jeter has made throughout his 20-year career, the New York Yankees shortstop is occasionally allowed to make a simple gaffe during a regular-season game.
During Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners, Jeter believed that a ball hit by Kyle Seager had landed in foul territory as left fielder Brett Gardner was unable to make the play. The problem is that it was, in fact, a fair ball.
Jeter eventually scooped up the ball and continued to run away from the infield, not knowing that it was a live ball. That allowed Seager to cruise into third for his second triple in three innings:
Seager wound up scoring a couple of batters later to give his team a 2-0 lead.
It was a game to remember for Seager. The Mariners third baseman recorded four hits—a double, two triples and a home run—as he came just a single away from hitting for the cycle.
