We are still in the very early stages of spring training, which means every team in the league will be shaking off some rust for a couple of weeks.
In other words, we're going to see some ugly plays and strange results. The Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays teamed up for one of those plays on Sunday, resulting in an inside-the-park home run for Tampa Bay outfielder Kameron Misner.
Have a look.

Not only does a routine pop-up manage to fall in between four Tigers fielders, but shortstop Andrew Navigato accidentally kicked the ball past everybody deep into right field, allowing Misner to circle the bases for an easy home run.
This ended up starting a late-game rally for the Rays as they overcame a 9-4 deficit to tie the game.
Misner has yet to make his major league debut in the regular season, but he at least has a moment to remember in a spring training game thanks to this.
