Transaction
The Rangers right fielder rewarded Houston spectators who let him rob Yordan Alvarez of a homer.
Brandon Nimmo robbed Yordan Alvarez of a home run during a Rangers-Astros game and afterward gave signed baseballs to the fans who declined to interfere with the catch. Nimmo, 33 in his 11th season with Texas, is batting .302 (38-for-126) with 4 home runs and 12 RBI through 32 games this season.
The gesture acknowledged the fans' restraint—a nod to unwritten baseball etiquette where spectators often refrain from touching a fielder's glove or interfering with defensive plays, even when it costs their own team.
