A Baseball Rarity

[ZowieHowie]

Marlins up 6-5.

Arizona with 1 out, runners on 1st and 3rd

Meeting at the mound. Next thing you know is that the player at 3rd was called out. It was the hidden ball trick, and it worked!

 

[Cuda1447]

Haha, awesome.

 

[Kadarin]

Heh.. I saw that at a Giants game a few years back

 

[chambersc]

hidden ball trick = 3rd base coach should be demoted.

Did you fail Kindergarten?

 

[imported_Mike]

I watched one fold out live at a Rockies game when I was in CO. Got out the guy on 1st base.

 

[Blastomyces]

I did that in little league once.

 

[stan394]

i didn't know the trick got a name

 

[konichiwa]

On Baseball Tonight they said that the pitcher can't be on the mound for the Hidden Ball trick to work, but I thought it was not on the rubber...since when is the mound of any significance when it comes to dead balls/balks/etc?

Anybody know what's the real deal?

 

[DanTMWTMP]

hah, I saw the trick in the movie "rookie of the year." At first, I thought it was some BS thing for the movie. Now this is the first time I found out it's an actual tactic.
