“I have it right behind me,” the 24-year-old outfielder said.
It was at that moment that he understood: he had made a big mistake.
#Orioles” Colton Cowser: “Right when I threw it, I said, ‘Craig made a lot of saves, that one could have been big.'” I literally told Ced every time, ” Maybe I made a mistake. And it turns out I did.

The reason? It was the ball that brought Baltimore closer to Craig Kimbrel’s 422nd career big league save, which tied Billy Wagner for seventh on the AL/NL all-time list.
“Right when I kicked it, I said, ‘Craig made a lot of saves, that one could have been big,’” Cowser said. “I literally told (center fielder Cedric Mullins) every time, ‘I might have missed.’ And it turns out I did. But we got the ball back.
Not without a little treasure hunt.
Shortly after the game, Cowser ran through the tunnel behind the third base dugout at Kauffman Stadium, hoping he could find the ball. It turns out that when he “dumped” it, he threw it into one of the stadium’s iconic fountains.
There were only two balls at the bottom of this fountain, and one of them was so old that it was easy to tell which one was the last out of Saturday’s game. A stadium employee retrieved it for Cowser, who then returned to the visitors’ clubhouse and began drying it with a white towel.
“Apparently the balls sink after two minutes,” Cowser said.
This won’t be something Cowser experiences anytime soon, and he knows it.
“It’s a fine, isn’t it?” » said manager Brandon Hyde jokingly. “We need to do something about this.”
As Cowser discussed his adventurous evening with the media, teammates Jackson Holliday and Gunnar Henderson sat nearby and gave him a hard time, making him repeat what he had done several times.
By the end of the night, Cowser had placed the ball safely in Kimbrel’s locker. A lesson has been learned.
“Every time I catch the ball and it’s his last out, he stays in the glove,” Cowser said.
Sunday morning, the ball was still in Kimbrel’s locker. However, it had since been placed in a container filled with rice in an attempt to dry it out.
As for Kimbrel, he was never upset by Cowser’s mistake and thought it was a funny story.
“It’s okay, I don’t mind. We’ll see what the authenticators think when we talk to them here in a moment,” Kimbrel said. “There was a little bit of pain, I could tell he was a little distraught, and I told him not to worry too much and not to lose any sleep.”
