"Batting Glove Blunder: José Abreu Tags Marcus Semien's Pocket in ALCS Game 4"

In Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, a bizarre out call occurred when the Houston Astros' first baseman, José Abreu, tagged out the Texas Rangers' second baseman, Marcus Semien, after catching a line drive. Abreu grazed Semien's batting glove hanging out of his back pocket, resulting in a double play. The Astros challenged the play, and the call was overturned, stifling a potential Texas comeback and securing a 10-3 win for Houston. The incident sparked discussion about the MLB rulebook's definition of a touch and the placement of equipment on a player's person.
