August 11, 200520 yr That was so much fun to watch. It's probably good for only once a year though. You can be teams will bet looking for it in the future.
August 11, 200520 yr ODL, Ozzie Guillen fell for it THREE TIMES, and TWICE in a single season? So THAT'S why the Marlins didn't pull one off in 2003.
August 11, 200520 yr Author BBTN did a 2-3 min segment on it, but didnt show it in WG, ill check WC for it on the top 10 when i get up in the morn
August 11, 200520 yr It was a beautiful play used at the perfect moment. You won't be able to get away with it too many times, but it was definately needed tonight to get the momentum back on our side. :thumbup
August 11, 200520 yr NUMBER 1!!!! I got it on tape, I will put it on my other computer and upload tomorrow if someone else doesn't first..
August 11, 200520 yr One of the most awesome things I have ever witnessed in person. And when you consider what that runner represented, it was beyond huge.
August 11, 200520 yr ESPN just showed it again, and this time they showed Todd Jones looked at Mikey and then walked to talk to Matt and then walked around the mount. and then BAM! :tv_happy
August 11, 200520 yr I had never seen that before other than the movie "Rookie of the Year" That was great, I can't believe it. 898214[/snapback] Mike did it last season and also Derrek Lee pulled it off in 2003. I was there tonight, when Lowell was walking back to the dugout he tipped his hat with this really funny smirk on his face and everyone was laughing, it was great :lol .
August 11, 200520 yr Just found this... Hidden Ball Trick Its now happened 232 times since 1876, and Mike Lowell did it last. 898381[/snapback] That...is amazing! 232 times out of MILLIONS of games. Hardly anything rarer. And in such a big spot too! I do not remember ever seeing it in my life, but then again I didn't see that game against the Spos last year. I do remember Lowell's triple play in Montreal a few years back. I wonder how many of those have been made in MLB history.
August 11, 200520 yr was at the game tonight, no one realized it until he pulled it off what was going on myself included. Good job Mikey for heads up thinking in a crucial situation. :thumbup

I was really that bored :lol .
August 11, 200520 yr it was weird to watch it live on tv, because after the throw came in from cabs they went and focused on jones. While they were focused on jones you just hear the crowd cheer, and then did the cameras catch on. all i have to say is good thing for multiple cameras focusing on different things, or else no one would have caught it
August 11, 200520 yr awesome job mikey, i wasent paying attention to the game when it happen but when the next inning started and they showed the replay i saw it

I was there tonight, when Lowell was walking back to the dugout he tipped his hat with this really funny smirk on his face and everyone was laughing, it was great :lol . 898459[/snapback] Hmm, are you sure D-Lee did? According to that website, the last hidden ball trick besides Lowell's recent two, was 1999 by JT Snow :plain
August 11, 200520 yr there go my chances of seeing it tomorrow when Im sitting about 10-20 feet from the bag...tear. I always wondered why noone did it in games, now I know all the stipulations to it.
August 11, 200520 yr The clip is on MLB.com: http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...=.jsp&team=home
August 11, 200520 yr It made my whole night, especially coming as it did after the Villone-Mota Fiasco.
August 11, 200520 yr Hopefully something like this will spark his hitting, and maybe bring the team together. When you have fun playing baseball it?s contagious.
