Great post! I love baseball - and even more, I love baseball bloopers. :D I'm looking forward to showing my 12 year old son this video clip - as a good example of "what not to do." He plays baseball year-round and the competition is fierce. I think it's always good to put things in perspective every once in awhile. It's healthy for him to see that the big dogs are boneheads once in awhile, too. :D Man, that sure stated my morning out right. Allah! Great post!

Not the worst ever -- not even the Dodgers' worst base running ever. Eighty years ago, August 15, 1926, at Ebbets Field against the Boston Braves, Dazzy Vance, Chick Fewster and Babe Herman were all on third base at the same time. Bonehead base running for the Dodgers every 80 or so years is to be expected. In the interim, you get Robinson, Snider, Koufax, Drysdale et als. TaterCon Aw, c’mon.
