Red Sox pitcher Hector Velázquez robbed a home run while standing in the bullpen

Robbing home runs is one of the coolest things a player can do in baseball. You're turning one of the sports world's most powerful feats into a long, amazing out for your team. You're destroying another fanbase's joy -- who wouldn't wanna do that.
Hector Velázquez, a pitcher for the Red Sox, sort of got that opportunity during Thursday's Blue Jays-Red Sox game. His teammate, Mitch Moreland, had already hit a home run, but Velázquez got to leap like Mike Trout and stop the ball from going into the crowd.
Let's hope it runs on highlight reels for years to come.
