And here is first-hand evidence of a disappearance, courtesy of the man himself, Padres’ infielder Jake Cronenworth.

There is more, however. It seems that the man himself creates his own Crone Zone wherever he may be. As shown by this phenomenal defensive play. “You can hit it anywhere, but don’t hit it in The Crone Zone” – elite broadcasting!

The Revenge Of The Eloy
After a quiet spell on his return from the injured list, Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jiménez chose the perfect series to announce himself as a key weapon on the South Side for the World Series push. Jimenez blast two homers and drove in five runs on Sunday Night Baseball as his team the White Sox humiliated his old team, the Cubs, with a brutal 9-3 rout. His first was a monster two-run blast off starter Zach Davies off just the eighth pitch of the game.

And his second rudely interrupted a segment with broadcasting great, Al Michaels.

The White Sox fans loved their trip across town, the win being their third in as many games against the Cubs. They sweep the series and it’s all smiles on the South Side.
The best fans. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/aGfJeqPFqD

Dodgems
This Los Angeles Dodgers ball girl is about to get a huge contract extension after this epic takedown of an errant fan at Chavez Ravine.
The Dodgers ball girl just levelled a fan running onto the field and sent them up and over the wall. 😂

I mean, come on…she did what ALL those security guards could not do. She may get a few calls from the Rams and the Chargers today.
Holy crap, the ball girl just leveled a fan running onto the field and sent them over the wall.
None of the security could catch up to him, but the ball girl laid him out.
