VIDEO: Zelous Wheeler chases foul ball into Yankees dugout
Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sport
New York Yankees rookie Zelous Wheeler is making his name known just two games into his major league career.
On Thursday, he hit a homer in his MLB debut and followed it up with a terrific out-of-bounds catch as a defensive replacement Friday.
Only problem was, he was literally out of bounds.

Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire challenged the play and the call was overturned on the basis Wheeler did not make the catch until he was actually in the dugout.
We love the effort but perhaps Wheeler was a tad overzealous on this one.
