Like Julian Tavarez running to second base from the mound in an attempt to pick off Brian Roberts single-handedly.
Topping that, two Dodgers on first and second, NO OUTS, a fly ball double hit to the right field corner. The right fielder throws a strike to the cut-off man who throws a strike to the catcher. The runner from second is out. The catcher turns his back on the play to show the umpire he held the ball, and the pitcher screams at him, " Here comes another one!" The catcher turns and tags him out, too!. There were no outs! Why couldn't the runner from second score on a hit into the corner, and if HE couldn't, why was the runner from first sent to certain death? With no outs save the gunned-down runner in front of him!
To echo the announcers: "I've never seen that before."
Baseball is a great game.

I saw this play on ESPN last night, and they also showed the last time it happened, when two Yankees tried to come home and were met by the catcher and the ball. In both cases, it looked like the 2nd runner hoped to sneak in while the catcher was celebrating the first out.
Actually, that was the only Yankee baseball I saw last evening . . .
It was the only Yankee baseball anybody saw last evening.
The catcher in the Yankees-White Sox play was the immortal Carlton Fisk. I saw him on TV not too long ago and at the ripe old age of 59 he looks like he still has the body of a well put together 34 year old.
