Every once in a while, when a baseball is hit very hard and very far, you might hear an announcer say, that ball hasn't come down yet. That's never been more true than on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park, when a double off the bat of Shay Whitcomb quite literally did not come down.

That's because it somehow got stuck high up in the fence in left-center field, not unlike a basketball that gets wedged between the rim and the backboard. Whitcomb's frozen rope came off the bat at 108.5 mph and fit perfectly into the chainlink, resulting in an automatic ground rule double. Next best thing to hitting it over the fence? Hitting it into the fence.

What's more remarkable about this quirky play is that the Astros have been involved in two other odd ballpark occurrences in the past week alone. Last Tuesday, Yordan Alvarez's batting practice missile caused a scoreboard at Tropicana Field to malfunction, and the prolific slugger joked afterwards that he was "not paying that bill." A few days later, with the Astros back on their home turf, Jose Altuve drilled a 108.4 mph line drive that took out a linescore digit in the manual out-of-town scoreboard and went clean inside it.

Whitcomb's double was eventually retrieved by members of the Houston grounds crew, who had to climb up to get it. It's anyone's guess what unconventional wonders the Astros and/or Minute Maid Park will provide us with next, but here's hoping we keep seeing things we never have before.
