- Behold What Could Be The 'Most Embarrassing' Blunder In MLB This Season
Taylor Trammell of the Houston Astros hit the ball far and did the things a player might do after a home run.
He ran around the bases, stuck out a "No. 1" sign as he headed toward home plate, touched his heart and looked skyward.

There was just one problem, though. It wasn't a home run . Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Myles Straw had made a leaping catch at the wall.
Trammell eventually realized that his big dinger was actually a flyout. The camera followed him into the dugout where he threw what looked like a towel in disgust. The Astros eventually lost on Monday , 3-1.
One poster on X who shared the TV feed of Trammell's goof called it "the most embarrassing moment of his life."

"Still confused on how it didn't get out," Trammell said the next day .

But at least the home run trot practice came in handy on Tuesday. Trammell swatted a real round-tripper in a 7-2 Astros win over the Blue Jays.
There was no doubt about this one.
