Dumbest fielding play in MLB history?

You be the judge. Poor dude may be the new “Agony of Defeat” for the rest of time.
Two outs, all he has to do is step on first base (or tag the runner) Instead? Well ...
Let this be a lesson to you kids. Never get suckered into a rundown between first and home!

The joke goes: I don’t follow professional baseball. I’m a Pirates fan.

It would make a Little Leaguer proud.

At least we know better than that

Reminiscent of the old Will Rogers: “I’m not a member of any organized political party - I’m a Democrat”

How many have even punted a ball back into the infield?

I've seen worse. When I was 11 I played youth baseball and we had all kinds of crazy fielding plays. Our centerfielder was playing catch with the right fielder when the batter for the other team hit a ball to right center. It was sort of a mess as there was a short right field and no flags for an automatic double or HR there like in left field.

I know, but those were ELEVEN YEAR OLDS!

This is the big league sparky. You catch the ball and step on first base. The runner is out. Even youth baseball knows that.
