I’m not gonna say the Cubs “almost won” yesterday if not for a particular Ian Happ fly out. That isn’t really the point here, because we know things like that happen on both sides throughout a one-run game.
Plus, at 236 feet, it wasn’t even a deep fly out. It was wholly unremarkable.
Or, well, it would’ve been if not for this absurd factoid:
Windy City (yes ik the real origin) ?️This Ian Happ flyout was pushed in 137 ft by wind, preventing a home run, per @WeatherApplied That’s the largest deviation preventing a HR in their database (2023),for anyone, surpassing…a 113-ft deviation for Happ earlier this year !! pic.twitter.com/v1hAXqBLiu
— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) May 17, 2026137 feet of wind un-assist! A 236-foot fly out that, on a wind-neutral day, would’ve been 370 feet!
Watching the video, yeah, I suppose the most wind-impacted fly ball in three years might look something like that. It’s nowhere even remotely close to the wall. I mean, heck, the warning track fell off the screen WAY before the outfielder even caught the ball!
And if this all sounds familiar, yeah, this happened to Ian Happ earlier this season, as Langs’ tweet notes:

— Mike Petriello (@mike_petriello) March 27, 2026So that’s twice in one season that Ian Happ had a home run robbed by some of the most extreme wind gusts (the ones impacting the flight of a baseball, anyway) we’ll see. Same guy! The two worst ones of the season!
