Ozuna could go back to the wall and start climbing, only to have the ball drop 10 feet in front of him. How was he a gold glove winner? They should have traded for Yelich.
St Louis Cardinals 2026
IIRC the Marlins put Stanton on the trade block first, along with that mammoth contract. Then Ozuna. There was no noise on Yelich until after Ozuna was traded. Mo was desperate to get a power bat and jumped on Ozuna. He was mediocre in 2 seasons here then bolted for the Braves and had several very productive seasons in ATL.
The completed Stanton to STL trade only for him to block it is a moment I always forgot

The only good memory I have of Ozuna was when my son had his 9th birthday we went to Coors. We had seats against the left field line and Ozuna caught the 3rd out of an inning. I asked him for the ball and he tossed it to us. I gave it to my son and he was happy. Ozuna led off the next half inning and hit a grounded down the 3rd base line that came right to us, I was able to field it (before the extended netting) and gave it to my sons best friend who was attending his very first MLB game. And so within 5 minutes I had gotten both of them a ball. It was pretty cool.
That is best thing that never happened; his cost would have crippled STL and Stanton hasn’t played a full season since!
Wow; that was really cool! What were the chances?
Ozuna and Goldschmidt hit back-to-back HRs in the 2019 NLDS and I was there; STL won that series. Then they fell apart.
Just to clarify, this was a foul ball you're talking about, right?

Ozuna got hot that series. I remember the announcers saying he was making himself a lot of money.

I was thinking about whether I stated that or not about an hour after posting, and thought... well they should know right? Ya it was foul. Would have been terrible to get kicked out of a game on my sons birthday. If he got to keep the ball then it might have still been worth it, maybe.
Men on 3rd and 2nd, 1 out, tie game in bottom of 8th.
Torres goes up and 3 pitch strikeout
And JJ bails him out.
Probably would have had his second inside the park homerun if he kept running around 2nd

O’Brien and Burleson both were surprising. Maybe the asking price was too high. I’m not complaining.
