I'm currently watching the Boston Red Sox take on the Oakland As. Rookie Jacoby Ellsbury, who nevertheless is 24 years old and has been playing baseball for 15 years or so... just tried to advance from 2nd to 3rd on a ball hit in front of him. Of course he was thrown out by a mile.
And I'm thinking.... what? What? How can a professional baseball player, who's been playing the game for 15 years and probably has watched the game on TV for the same amount of time, not know that you do not try to advance from 2nd to 3rd on a ball hit in front of you?
Jacoby's the latest ballplayer to make that foolish mistake, but he's certainly not the only one I've seen do it...
