The Photo That Tells the Story of Jo Adell's Miraculous Night

On Saturday (local time), Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell made MLB history by robbing three home runs in a single game, as the Angels edged the Seattle Mariners 1-0.

The defining moment came in the ninth inning when Adell caught a ball while tumbling into the right-field stands, then rose to his feet among the fans and raised his glove in triumph. At that precise moment, a fan positioned directly behind him snapped the perfect shot.

The photographer, Kayleigh Kraus, submitted the image to the Angels, who shared it on social media — and it went viral almost instantly. Angels manager Kurt Suzuki called it unforgettable, noting the timing on Easter Sunday was bound to produce a wave of memes.

What Three Robbery Plays in One Game Really Means

Three home run robberies in a single game is an extraordinarily rare feat in MLB history. That the game ended 1-0 makes Adell's contributions all the more decisive. His performance proved that defense alone can make a player the hero of the night.

Ohtani Trains Through the Downpour

In Washington D.C. on the same day, Shohei Ohtani refused to let heavy rain interrupt his pregame routine. Despite delays caused by rain that began falling at 11 a.m., Ohtani took the field and went through his full routine — catch, long toss, and about 15 minutes of flat-ground work — while stadium staff watched in disbelief.

An Eight-Year-Old's Wish Fulfilled in the Rain

Watching Ohtani's workout from behind home plate was the Cochrane family from Virginia Beach. Eight-year-old Kane, a shortstop for the Tidewater Drillers and devoted Dodgers fan, had come with one wish. After finishing his workout, Ohtani jogged over to the family, took a photo with Kane, and handed him the ball he had been using. Kane's mother broke into tears; his father quietly took photos. Completely soaked but overjoyed, the family walked away with a memory that will last a lifetime.
