Leave it to Hunter Pence to hit one of the quirkiest inside-the-park homers you'll ever see
Inside-the-park homers can be weird.
In the sixth inning of Tuesday's Rangers-Red Sox game from Fenway Park, Pence slapped a line drive down the right-field line and everything went sideways.

The ball just chilling there by the outfield fence is a weird scene, man. Maybe Holt thought it had bounced into the stands, or maybe he couldn't move because he got the wind knocked out of him with his leaping attempt.
Who knows for sure. At any rate, that's a perfect Hunter Pence play, really.
