Good news: West Ottawa High School junior Shane Trevino's father Tony was in the stands to witness his son's first home run. Bad news: the ball landed in the backseat of Tony Trevino's Pontiac Grand Prix ... after putting a softball-sized hole in the rear window. (You can see the damage here.)The elder Trevino told the Grand Rapids Press that "When we saw it was my car, I just thought it was the funniest thing. Everyone at the game was talking about the odds of my son's ball hitting my car. We joked about if the umpires wanted to even question it being foul, they could have walked to my car to see that it was parked in fair territory.
"The first thing I really said was, 'Oh, my God, it's not my car, it's my company's car.' "
Shane found out that he had unintentionally vandalized his dad's car while he was playing right field a half-inning after going yard. "My dad screamed to me from the parking lot, 'You smashed my car,' " Shane told the Press. "I thought it was pretty ironic. My first career home run in high school and it happened to hit my dad's car."
Whatever, Paul Stephenson, chairman of the statistics department at Grand Valley State, provides some context. "Assuming that he always parks his car within home-run range and he hits a home run every 24 at-bats, the chances of him hitting his dad's window is 1 in 67,000," Stephenson said. "And the anomaly of it happening on his first home run is remarkable."
