Andre Dawson played more than 20,000 innings in the field during his 21-year Major League career…all in the outfield.
Sunday night during the annual Legends and Celebrity Softball Game, the sure-handed, eight-time Gold Glove Award winner showed why, perhaps, he was never put at first.
And while most of social media was busy having a field day with Hawk’s header…one guy had nothing but love for the Hall of Famer.
Jose. Canseco.
You might recall 25 years ago when the embattled slugger suffered a similar fate. However, unlike Dawson’s blunder in a goofy mid-season game that means nothing…Canseco’s was in the fourth inning of what ended up being a 7-6 loss against the Cleveland Indians.
Ooops.
