Fantastic combination of Sean Casey and Dan Patrick. Thank you so much for sharing and God bless all from Patrick

I was at the game. 3rd base line behind the dugout, 20 rows up. Great view of this play! The only game I've gone to since the cancellation of the '94 season. If you hear a deep bellowing BOO as Casey returns to the dugout, that could be me. Drove 3 hours, sat through a 2 hour rain delay and Nate Robertson gives up 5 in the 1st, 5 in the 2nd. Down 10-0. And then Casey gets caught lolly gagging down to first!!! I couldn't believe the crap I was watching!!! (It turns out he thought the ball was caught by the 3rd baseman). But it is the only ever scoring of a 5-7-3 putout in MLB history!!!

My POV : Casey hit a line drive that the 3rd baseman leaped straight up for and it ticked off of his glove but still had enough steam to get to the left fielder. I'm watching the left fielder gather the ball, AND HE COMES UP THROWING, I'm thinking what the heck is going on? I look over and Casey is thundering down the first base line. It looked to me like he's stomping his feet into the ground because he's trying so hard, and because he sucks at running.

But Casey is a good guy. Sorry about the booing.

Watching Casey run was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. He was as slow as molasses and his butt seemed to flop in every direction at once, like a sack full of cats.

"It was bang-bang at first" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"The Mayor" is hilarious, and when you do something that dubious, you have to laugh at yourself, otherwise, you'll be a brooding fool...

Paul Molitor was thrown out at first by the left fielder in 1979.

Mad you’re a lefty Sean so you had a extra step 🤣, but laughed so hard at you telling the story. Props to you, would’ve happened to Ricky Henderson under the circumstances…of course he would’ve been thrown out at second .

[bonds]

Didn't care for him as a player, but as a person, easy to see why he's called the mayor. Many can learn from his disposition, it's the best!

I've never seen anything quite like that before xD

[braddvaughn]

Actually I believe ernie Lombardi was thrown out at first from the outfield!

[josephsheridan]

Not true! In 1972 the strike year .late in the season the giants of s.f.were playing the cin.reds because of scheduled make up games and traveling time the reds were the home team.in the bottom of the ninth with the score tied the reds had the bases loaded with two out.and pete rose up.the left fielder moved from playing rose straight in left and medium deep.to a shade of left center but moved in not two shallow but mediam.seeing the pitch and the swing and being on his toes as a infielder would.he charged the ball.(a line drive to left)and picked it up on one hop bare handed and came. Up with a throw to first base.the baseman was playing back on the infield had to race to the bag because the out fielder throw it toward first base.but perfectly up the line so the firstbaseman could put his left foot on the base and with right glove hand STRETCH TO BALL THE THROW WAS THERE WITH FORCE AND THE TAG WAS APPLIED TO HIS HEAD ONE STEP FROM THE BAG.THE SAME OUTFIELDER IN THE SAME SITUATION.AGAINST THE ATALANTA BRAVES .WITH THE BRAVES THE HOME TEAM AT THE STICK.BASES LOADED TWO OUTS TIE SCORE.FULL COUNT ON HANK AARON AND JUAN MARACHIAL PITCHING.RIGHTFIELDER COMES IN AND OVER TO THE LINE SEES THE PITCH AND THE SWING.BUT BEFORE THE PITCH HE YELLS AND MOTIONS TO FIRST FOR JUAN TO BE THERE.HIS REASONING BEING JUAN IS A GREAT CONTROL PITCHER AARON A DEAD PULL HITTER ON THE INFIELD AND POWER TO THE alleys AND CENTER.ALSO KNOWING A BASE HIT WINS THE GAME KNOWS A SLIDER OR SIDE ARM CURE OR CURVE OVER THE TOP.AND JUAN HITS THE OUTSIDE CORNER AT THE KNEES AND AARON RIPS A LINE DRIVE TO RIGHT.SAME THING KID READS THE PLAY ON HIS TOES MOVES(CHARGES) IN AND FIELDS BARS HANDED THROWING TO FIRST BASE WITH J M. COVERING THE BAG(HE WAS AN EXCELLENT FIELDER AND COULD COVER FIRST WITH GREAT QUICKNESS HIS RIGHT FOOT HITTING THE BAG AND STRETCHING TO THROW WOULD SNAP HIS GLOVE FORWARD THEN DOWN.PERFECT THROW AND WELL HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT MR.AARON .THAT'S WHAT THE VET TEAM NEEDED .ON OTHER PLAYS I COULD SEE HOW THE INFIELDERS WOULD SCREEN THE RUNNERS FROM THE BALL OR HOLD A RUNNER ON OR GET THE RUNNER TOGO BACK TO THE BASE HE LED FROM OR FREEZE THEM AND DEEK_(DECOY) THEM. ROOKIE LEFTY ON THE MOUND.FIRST INNING LOADS THE BASE NOT THROWING A STRIKE.REFUSED TO PITCH TO LEADOFF HITTER WHO WAS AWARDED FIRST BASE NOT HOLDING THE RUNNER ON AND WINDING UP THE RUNNER STEALS SECOND.NO NO.THE OFFICIAL SCOREKEEPER RULES.RUNNER IN DIFFERENCE.NO SB.INT WALKS THE NEXT BATTER.AND HITS THE THIRD BATTER TO LOAD THE BASES.TEAM PUTS IN THEIR BEST PINCH HITTER(IT WAS A DOUBLE HEADER) A STARTER BEING RESTED AND TO BE USED WHEN MULTIPLE RBI'S POSSIBLE.THE PITCHER IN THE STRETCH TAKES THE SIGN LOOKS AT THE RUNNER AT FIRST THEN LOOKS BACK TO THE PLATE.IN GOOD RHYTHM.AND JUMPS OFF THE MOUND WITH HIS LEFT FOOT AND SPRINTS AT THE RUNNER AT FIRST WHO BREAKS THE WRONG WAY.TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT.HE tags OUT ALL THREE RUNNER.RUNNING THEM DOWN FOR A UN ASSISTED TRIPLE PLAY.ALSO AGAINST THE BRAVES. HOW FAST WAS THIS ROOKIE LEFTY RALF CARR TRAGS A BUNT DOWN FIRST BASE LINE..HE'S OFF THE MOUND FIELDS THE BALL AND RUNNING ON THE FOUL GRASS SIDE OF THE BASE LINE DIVES AT THE BAG WITH HIS LEFTHAND.THE BALL IN HAND HITS THE BASE JUST BEFORE CARR TRIED FOR THE BAG THE BALL STICKS TO HIS SPIKE AND HE IS LIFTED OVER THE BASE WITHOUT TOUCHING IT.
