Jake McCarthy’s Historic Inside-the-Park HR | Colorado Rockies News

Jake McCarthy just rewrote Rockies history with an electrifying inside-the-park home run — his second leadoff homer this season, the first such feat since 1929. The play? A chaotic, bounce-driven scramble that forced a replay of the call from triple + error to full home run. Rare since 1901 — only nine players ever hit two inside-the-park homers in a season — McCarthy’s speed and timing turned a tricky ball into a walk-off moment. For the Rockies, it’s the third time a leadoff hitter has done it in the first inning since 2012, snapping a five-year drought. Fresh off a January trade, the 28-year-old is already making his mark — proving baseball’s greatest moments are still being written, one wild play at a time.
