Ball bonks off Angels OF Adell's head, over fence for home run​

Login to view embedded media
Los Angeles Angels right fielder Jo Adell made headlines in April when he robbed three home runs in one game. On Tuesday night at Angel Stadium, he gave one back.

In a play he would probably like to forget, Adell raced toward the right-field wall to track down a fly ball off TJ Rumfield's bat in the fourth inning against the Colorado Rockies.

Adell appeared to get under the ball for an easy out, but in a flashback to the infamous Jose Canseco play from May 1993, the ball nicked off his glove, then bounced off his head and over the fence for a solo home run.

"It's one of those things where how it happened looks crazy," said Adell, who went 0-for-4 at the plate with two strikeouts. "It looks like I've never played in the field before, which is disappointing, because it's beyond the truth, but it is what it is. I'm the only one that really knows what happened. I was out there, and it happened to me, so it is what it is. I've got to just keep going, and as a team, we've got to keep going."

The play bore an eerie resemblance to Canseco's defensive blunder from 33 years ago, which happened when he was a member of the Texas Rangers and also occurred at the right-field wall. The Rangers lost that game 7-6 to Cleveland.

Adell actually made a similar outfield gaffe against the Rangers on Aug. 9, 2020, his rookie season, when a fly ball bounced off his glove -- but not his head -- and went over the fence. The play did not go down as a homer, however; instead, Adell was charged with a rare four-base error.

WR Benny Easter has moved up his OV to TT from 6/19 to this weekend.
I think this is good. As he can directly compare the two, with the OSU visit still fresh on his mind, rather than great vibes wear off for a few weeks and then go to TT.

SMU signs former MLB player Jordyn Adams to football scholarship: 26-year-old was a 5-star WR recruit in 2018​

Adams was the No. 3 wide receiver recruit in 2018, according to 247Sports, ranking directly behind future NFL star Amon-Ra St. Brown​

Jordyn Adams spent the better part of eight years pursuing one sports dream. Now, he's returning to another. The former five-star football recruit and first-round MLB Draft pick has enrolled at SMU and plans to join the Mustangs football program, a source confirmed to CBS Sports.

Adams was once considered one of the country's premier high school athletes. A standout at Green Hope High School in Cary, North Carolina, he finished his prep career ranked as the No. 3 wide receiver in the 2018 class and the No. 14 overall prospect nationally. The only receivers ranked ahead of him were future NFL stars Amon-Ra St. Brown and Ja'Marr Chase.

Adams signed with North Carolina and intended to play both football and baseball. But those plans changed when the Los Angeles Angels selected him with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft and signed him away from college on a deal worth more than $3 million.

The decision launched a professional baseball career that stretched from 2018 until just two weeks ago, when he last appeared in a game on May 20 with Triple-A Nashville Sounds. Adams climbed through the Angels' farm system before making his major league debut in 2023. He appeared in 17 games for Los Angeles that season and returned for 11 more games in 2024. After departing the Angels organization, he spent time with the Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers organizations.

In total, Adams played 38 MLB games, collecting 13 hits, six runs scored, one home run and five RBIs. He spent the bulk of his career in the minor leagues, appearing in 678 games and accumulating more than 2,400 at-bats while showcasing the athleticism that once made him one of the nation's top football recruits.

His baseball career came to a close last month after a brief stint in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Rather than continue pursuing another opportunity in professional baseball, Adams has elected to revisit the sport many believed could have carried him to a professional career as well.

How is Jordyn Adams still eligible to play college football?​

As of now, he is, but the NCAA continues to debate significant eligibility changes. Last month, Division I leaders discussed an age-based "five-for-five" model that would give athletes five years to compete beginning immediately after high school graduation or their 19th birthday -- whichever comes first. If adopted, the proposal would dramatically alter the current system and could impact cases like Adams' in the future.

He never enrolled at North Carolina after signing with the Angels. Because Adams went directly into professional baseball and never played college football, his eligibility situation differs from that of a traditional college athlete.

Sort of unreal that Freeman and James are able to hangout if you think of it. I’ll say this, if Day were to go to the NFL you have to go get Marcus. No one is ready yet (James, Hartline etc).

Click to expand...

They've known each other since they were 18, why wouldn't they still be cool? Its just a job. I'm sure they have stories for days, and Freeman probably didn't even fault JL for leaving for THEIR alma mater for a positional job he didn't give him. I work with a guy who played at Wayne with them, and he said they all get together more frequently than fans know
And I doubt Marcus leaves ND for OSU. Its one of the few programs that would be considered a lateral move

My guy.

He really played well down the stretch… I guess if I’m looking back on it. He was pretty damned good from Washington through Michigan. Going to be a problem this year.

They talk way too much for a program that doesn’t do anything.

Both teams restocked in the portal so it’ll likely come down to that.

With that said, JJ really needs to do something vs these guys. He’s 0-2 so far

Sports History

On this day in 2001 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that disabled golfer Casey Martin could use a cart to ride in tournaments.

Click to expand...

FWIW, good account of Casey Martin's medical condition and his legal pursuit to use a cart on the PGA Tour.

The battles continue for Casey Martin, decades after Supreme Court case​

When former PGA Tour golfer Casey Martin had his right leg amputated at midthigh in October 2021, he hoped to get some relief from the excruciating pain that had hobbled him since he was born.

Instead, Martin traded the all-too-familiar aches for an entirely new level of discomfort.

"The pains that I used to have for 49 years are gone," Martin said. "Unfortunately, there's a new set that came with it. I wasn't 100% prepared for what I was going to deal with. I'm not going to lie, it's been a bit of a war."

Martin, who has coached Oregon's golf team the past two decades, hasn't played an 18-hole round in nearly two years. He can stand on his right prosthetic leg and stripe a 7-iron about 150 yards while his players warm up for practice. He can still chip with the best of them.

But everything else the game requires is physically too much for Martin, who turns 54 on Tuesday.

"It's just so hard to play, and it hurts," Martin said. "I kind of felt like it just wasn't worth it. If you put me on a flat surface, it's OK. But if you put me on a side hill in a bunker, I can't do it."

Giving up the game he played for most of his life -- and the sport he challenged in a famous legal battle that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court a quarter-century ago -- required an entirely different kind of healing.

"I wasn't totally prepared for that," Martin said. "It's been a bit of a grieving process."

---

WHEN KING AND Melinda Martin's second son was born in Eugene on June 2, 1972, he cried incessantly. His parents eventually figured out something was wrong with Casey's right leg, which had what appeared to be an unusual birthmark.

When Martin was 10 months old, doctors diagnosed him with a rare and degenerative birth defect called Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome. The incurable disorder affects the circulatory system in his leg.

In the 1998 book "Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Casey Martin Story," author Tom Cunneff described Martin's condition like this: "Blood in a healthy leg is carried to the lower leg by arteries, and then pumped back up the leg through veins. Because the blood is flowing up through the veins against gravity, valves in the veins are designed to prevent blood from draining back down. In the case of Casey's right leg, however, those vein valves never close. The blood never flows back up and out; instead, it pools in the lower part of the leg."

The prognosis was grim: The leaking veins in Martin's right leg would deteriorate his tibia over the years.

As a child, Martin often had to have blood drained from his right knee with a syringe. He wore hip-to-ankle compression socks to promote blood flow and prevent swelling. He iced his right leg and soaked it in a hot tub.

Even before Martin became a teenager, he knew losing his leg was probably inevitable.

"I was prepared for it," Martin said. "When people would ask me about wearing a stocking over my leg, I'd be like, 'Yeah, I probably won't have it forever.' I knew that. It was not a healthy leg."

Martin's leg didn't prevent him from playing sports as a child. He was the designated quarterback -- not to be tackled -- in backyard football games. He played basketball and golf with his brother Cameron, who is two-and-a-half years older.

The Philadelphia Eagles traded star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, the Patriots announced Monday. The Eagles separately confirmed the move, receiving a 2028 first-round draft pick and 2027 fifth-round pick in return.

This is cool. Literally the high school where I live. That doesn't happen often.

Ohio State football’s most important recruiting target became an even bigger must get following a weekend development

Ohio State hosted David Gabriel Georges for his official visit over the weekend. It now has become more of a must for the Buckeyes to land their top recruiting target.

atozsports.com

Ohio State offered Newkirk back in December and was set to host the 5-foot-11, 200-pound running back for an official visit on June 12. The visit will no longer happen and the Buckeyes will have to turn elsewhere if they aren’t able to get Gabriel Georges. Newkirk was the No. 16 player in the class and No. 230 player nationally, per 247 Sports Composite.
