Let that be a lesson to whoever operates the video board at American Family Field not to tempt Elly De La Cruz.
After the Cincinnati Reds rookie was robbed of a home run in the top of the first by Milwaukee Brewers’ center fielder Joey Wiemer, the scoreboard operator decided to have little fun with De La Cruz his next time up.
Where fans would usually see a player’s stats or a description of their last at-bat, they saw something a bit different. Getty Images “Almost hit a home run in the first inning…but didn’t,” the video board read as De La Cruz stepped into the batter’s box in the top of the third. But those words quickly came back to haunt whoever wrote them as the shortstop did exactly what one would imagine after seeing a taunt like that.
De La Cruz crushed the ball 456 feet for a two-run home run to give the Reds a 2-1 lead over the Brewers, who went on to win the game 3-2."Almost hit a home run in the first inning… but didn't"
