Can of corn

Posted by Clayton Platt on October 31, 2000

I grew up hearing the phrase "can of corn" used to describe a type of flyball to the outfield in baseball. I can't for the life of me remember, if I ever knew, what the derivation of this term was. I do know that a can of corn was an easy fly to catch. Any help?
