”Who’s on First’
In the late innings of a game between the Baltimore Orioles and California Angels on April 17, 1993, with the Orioles facing Angels’ reliever Joe Grahe with one out and the bases full, they put on a display of errant base running worthy of a bloops and blunders highlight film.
Baseball Library describes the sequence of events in the Orioles inning;
With the bases loaded and one out‚ OF Mike Devereaux hits a fly ball which is trapped by CF Chad Curtis. Curtis throws home. Jeff Tackett‚ the baserunner on 3rd‚ returns to the base after running halfway home. Brady Anderson‚ who was on 2nd‚ advanced to 3rd. Chito Martinez‚ the baserunner on 1st‚ rounded 2nd and headed for 3rd. Angel C John Orton walked to 3rd where he tagged all 3 runners. Tackett was called out on a force‚ and Martinez was called out‚ completing the inning-ending double play.
The Orioles’ lost the game by a score of 7-5 to the Angels‚ winding up with egg on their faces and “3 runners on 3rd base in a rare display of dumb baseball.”
But back to 2007;
The Phillies try once again to get a game in against the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Stadium as new acquisition Freddy Garcia makes his Phillies debut opposing lefthander Tom Glavine. After two days of rain, the Phillies hope that Garcia can breathe new life into the club.
