GAME. BLOUSES.
The first-ever home run robbery at Marlins Park took place Thursday night during the Kansas City Royals-Miami Marlins game, and, well, it might be the best baseball play of this entire season.
Check out how Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson bolts toward center field and scales the wall to snatch a home run away from Christian Yelich of the Marlins:

Somebody in the Royals' dugout told Jarrod Dyson: "You look like young Griff."

I told Jarrod Dyson Statcast had his top speed at 19.8 mph. He was nonplussed. "I’m getting slow then," he said. "I'm normally at 20-21."

On a serious note: The winner of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at this year’s ESPYS, Zaevion Dobson, was murdered last year after jumping in the line of bullets directed at his friends. On Thursday, two suspects were named in the case for the first time, and charged with first-degree murder. Rest in power, Zaevion.
