TIMO

Timo makes "The Sports List" of dumbest moments in sports history for dogging it while running around the bases at Yankee stadium because he thought they had hit a home run. He was celebrating while running around the bases and then got thrown out at home.

See, that's what happens when there's a New York/New York world series. No one outside of New York cares, no one watches, and when the people who live in New York make lists of sporting events or people...no one has a clue what they're talking about.

"RUN IT OUT"

(10-27-00) #26

 

The Yankees won the World Series last night with a 4-2 victory over the Mets. One wonders if things might be different if the Mets remembered in Game 1 the cry of little league coaches everywhere: "Run it out!" You hit a ball that looks to be going foul? "Run it out!" You hit an apparent home run? "Run it out!" If only the Mets had remembered to run out a few balls in game 1, it's possible that the World Series outcome might have been different.

 

When Todd Zeile hit what looked to possibly be a home run, Timo Perez on first base failed to follow fundamental little league coaching. Thrown out at home plate Perez later admitted, "I wasn't running at 100 percent. I waved my arm. I don't know if I got confused with the fans. I lost a couple of steps and maybe I would not have been out as easily."

 

In the fourth and fifth inning Zeile and Jay Patton failed to run it out. Zeile's tapped ball started off foul only to roll back into fair territory where he was easily thrown out. Payton hit a ball down into the dirt. Mistakenly he believed it was a foul ball and did not run it out. He was tagged as he stood in the batter's box.
