Yup, 3 Rangers! 😁 Glad to see them getting the recognition, but it's because they won the WS last yr, and MLB seems to show more clips of the current (the previous yr) champs, maybe a clause in its network contract, to promote or show more of that team, in the next season, Idk. 🤷

Buckner before his knees gave out was a decently fast guy, definitely more mobile. It’s just that his most remembered moment has to do with his lack of knees layer on.

The only one you could make a legitimate case that should have had an error was Connor Gillaspie with the Giants. Otherwise, all of the others involve big/weird bounces off the wall or players diving and missing, which don't count as errors.

The SF outfielders were positioned as if Altuve had zero power.

Great to see Mariners legend Mike Carp in the Craig Gentry clip. He’s the 3rd best fish outfielder of the era behind Mike Trout and Tim Salmon.

The vast majority of "inside the park homeruns" should actually be singles or doubles with subsequent errors on the fielders. Still exciting plays but there is no reality in which those should be considered home runs.
