Fenway Park produces home runs like no other ballpark. And they don't get more Fenway than this. During the sixth inning of Monday's game between the Red Sox and Cleveland Guardians, Boston shortstop Trevor Story hit a fly ball down the right-field line. Guardians right fielder Jhonkensy Noel made a play on the ball near the foul pole. At first glance, the ball bounced off his glove and onto the top of the low-standing outfield wall. It appeared to be a foul ball. Noel gathered the ball and casually threw it back to the infield, believing it was a foul, as it was called in real time.

The ball actually glanced off Noel's glove and directly into the foul pole, affectionately known in Boston as the Pesky Pole for former Red Sox shortstop Johnny Pesky. Trevor Story just hit one of the strangest home runs everpic.twitter.com/ZWLUHgrTNF — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia)September 1, 2025 This was no foul ball. Instead, it was a solo home run that extended Boston's lead to 6-3, much to the delight of the Fenway faithful. The Red Sox went on to securea 6-4 win. Officially, Pesky Pole sits 302 feet from home plate, making it the shortest distance needed for a home run in MLB. Fenway is home to the shortest home runs of MLB's Statcast era, and Story's home run Monday is now part of that list. Per MLB's Sarah Langs, Story's is the shortest home run of the 2025 season and the second-shortest in the history of the Statcast era, which started in 2015.

It didn't have to. Surely he will gladly accept his entry into the Pesky Pole history book.
