Was the ball that bounced off Canseco's head ruled a HR or a 4 base error?

I'm trying to picture how an OFer could deflect a fly ball into the stands from 80+ feet away.

I wonder what the ruling would be if Milton dropped a fly ball and then got pissed and chucked it into the upper deck.

It's too bad that Bonds never took a line drive off of his big melon, because I bet he could have made it happen.

I remember an extra inning Giants/Cards game that Shawon Dunston hit a game winning HR that bounced of Bonds' glove. I loved Dunston even when he was a Cardinal.
I like you guys a lot.

Instead of pitching out 4 times on a IBB, why don't pitchers just go to their mouth 4 times in a row?
