ESPN TV ad foreshadowed the Kinsler-Fielder trade three years ago (VIDEO)

Call it a strange episode of life imitating art imitating life — or something like that.

Prince Fielder and Ian Kinsler were swapped in a blockbuster deal between the Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. The trade seemed to take many by surprise, but if conspiracy buffs were paying attention to their Sunday Night Baseball ads back in 2010, they probably think this spot had something to do with the deal.

Coincidence? Premonition? Weird.

Ian Kinsler's unbelievable hidden ball inside-the-park home run

It's a lesson every kid learns day one in Little League — the play isn't over until the umpire makes a call. Chicago White Sox leftfielder Dayan Viciedo finally learned that lesson to his dismay.

A ground ball down the left-field line eluded Vicedo and got lost behind the wall allowing Ian Kinsler to round the bases for a bizarre inside-the-park homer.

While logic says Kinsler should have been held up at second or even third for stadium interference, the umpire never ruled the play dead. So the Texas Ranger scored standing up.
