The Foul Ball Cannon

This is the Passball Podcast, a podcast that talks about an MLB baseball history moment and under the amount of time you can run around the bases. And I'm your host, Matt, the foul ball cannon. This is an incident that occurred in a major league baseball game between the New York Mets and the Chicago Cubs in 1978 at Wrigley Field. During a game, a group of fans set off a cannon, firing a foul ball that had been hit out of the stadium, back onto the field.

The incident took place in the outfield bleachers at Wrigley Field when the fans had brought a small cannon capable of launching projectiles. When a fall ball was hit out of the stadium, fans retrieve it, put it in the cannon, fire it back onto the field, causing confusion and surprise among the players and the umpires. The event was notable for its unusual and unexpected nature. It highlighted the passionate fan culture of baseball in the unique atmosphere of Wrigley Field. The incident thankfully did not result in any significant injuries or delays, but it is remembered as a quirky moment and baseball history.
