 The incident was somewhat similar to a scene in "The Natural", in which outfielder "Bump Bailey" of the "New York Knights" crashes through a wall.McCray was not seriously hurt (in contrast to the fictional Bailey, who died from his injuries), but became an instant celebrity as the play was shown repeatedly on newscasts across the country; a video clip of the play is now part of a blooper reel looped at the Baseball Hall of Fame.McCray made it back up to the White Sox later that year, but was used almost exclusively as a pinch runner and backup outfielder.
