Lonnie Chisenhall and Jason Kipnis Danced To Y.M.C.A.
By Michael Shamburger
Lonnie Chisenhall and Jason Kipnis put on a show last night in Texas. Chisenhall went 5-for-5 with three homers and nine RBI and Kipnis went 3-for-5 with four RBIs in Cleveland’s 17-7 win over the Rangers.
With the Indians leading 13-6, umpire Jim Wolf took a foul ball to the mask (see below), and the game was briefly halted. Wolf left the game for precautionary reasons, and while waiting for a replacement to get all his gear on, Chisenhall and Kipnis danced to the Village People.
More Lonnie: 4th MLB player since 1920 (when RBI became a stat) w/ at least 5 hits/9 RBI/3 HR, first since Fred Lynn in 1975
