Fans in the left field premium seats at Tropicana Field can access a buffet right up against the wall to the field. There, they can grab a hot dog, popcorn or some wings and watch all the action up close and personal.
On Sunday, May 31, Angels outfielder Jose Siri got so close that he almost wound up with wing sauce on his glove.
The Los Angeles Angels left fielder, and former Rays center fielder, robbed his former teammate Taylor Walls of a grand slam in the bottom of the third inning. Siri, known for his athletic defense, reached well over the left field wall, just above the buffet, and pulled the home run back.
The Angels are building a reputation as the most entertaining outfield in baseball. Jo Adell robbed three home runs in a single game against the Mariners on April 4, something that had never been seen in a major league game before. He has five robberies total nearly 10 weeks into the season and made a sliding catch in the outfield to escape a bases-loaded jam on Saturday.

And then Siri made his dramatic play on Sunday, reminding everyone at Tropicana Field of what he did there for years. The 30-year-old spent parts of three seasons in Tampa Bay before the Rays traded him after the 2024 season.
