As if Anthony Rizzo's emotional return to Wrigley Field to celebrate his retirement wasn't special enough, the impossible nearly happened in the bottom of the second inning when Chicago Cubs rookie Moises Ballesteros showed off his opposite-field power, launching a ball into the left field bleachers for his first MLB home run.

Amongst the thousands of Cubs faithful in the bleachers, Rizzo, surrounded by his friends and family, was somehow on the receiving end of the long ball - but even his four Gold Gloves and a Platinum Glove couldn't help him haul it in, with the ball bouncing off his hand and into the next row.
