The first time I ever saw this play was against our college team.

We had just let a team comeback to take a one run lead so we brought in a relief pitcher (lefty). Big old boy, weighed about 275.

They of course had runners at 1st and 3rd and before his first pitch to the plate both runners took off. Of course, our lefty is looking directly at the runner at 1B and everyone is yelling "there he goes". Our big lefty, steps off the rubber and takes off running at the runner. He quickly looks over his shoulder and sees the guy is about to score from 3B. This all got him off balance somehow and he just fell down in a big heap at the bottom of the mound.

I hate to lose, but this one got us laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. You had to be there!
