After getting benched on Monday for showing up late to the ballpark, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Matt Joyce is making sure he never makes that mistake again.
It's rare for Major League Baseball teams to play a day game on Mondays, but that was the case for Los Angeles this week. The Angels started a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto on Monday, which was the Canadian holiday Victoria Day. In honor of the holiday, the teams opened the series with a matinee game.
Well, Joyce thought that Monday's contest was going to be a night game, so he didn't show up to the ballpark on time.
