In another bizarre example of life resembling the movies, a minor league baseball player in southern Illinois hit a grand slam homerun only to find the ball smashed the windshield of his own truck.

The Gateway Grizzlies of Sauget, Illinois, say Brandon Thomas hit the homer during a game against the Joliet Slammers. The 25-year-old outfielder sent the ball sailing into the parking lot, where his 2008 black Toyota Tundra was parked.

Thomas says he didn’t realize what had happened until his teammates were laughing about something in the dugout, a couple of innings later, and told him.

Thomas says that after the game, he “went out there and saw the damage that (he) had done.” He says the truck was parked 60 feet behind the left field wall.

Thomas also says a couple of people have offered to fix the windshield for him.
