L.A. Angels Outfielder’s HR Bounces into Sherwin-Williams Paint Can, Doesn’t Count For $1M Payout

Sherwin-Williams said it will make a donation if an Angels player can smack a home run into the can on the fly.

Had Justin Upton’s ninth-inning home run Tuesday against the Cleveland Indians landed directly in the oversized Sherwin-Williams paint can behind the fence in left center at Angels Stadium, the company, as part of an ongoing promotion, would have donated $1 million to the Angels Baseball Foundation.

But after clearing the fence, Upton’s 444-foot solo shot – his career-high 32nd of the season – bounced on the grass in front of the “Angels Home Run in the Can” sign and then into the 10-foot tall paint can, ESPN reported. 

The Los Angeles Angels said that the homer didn’t count because it bounced first before ending up in the can. Sherwin-Williams said it will make a donation if an Angels player can smack a home run into the can on the fly. 

The team lost, 6-3. 

Back in 2014 to celebrate a partnership with the Angels, Frazee Paints – since acquired by Sherwin-Williams – placed the paint can in Angel Stadium’s left-center field terrace turf, 450 feet away from home plate.
