The Uniqueness of Baseball

The game of baseball is very unique, in the fact that almost every game a person watches or goes to something happens that could not have been expected.  There are plays in almost every game that have never been done before in the history of the game. This is an odd game because someone truly never knows what to expect at any game.  I think that’s why so many people enjoy the game so much because there is always something new happening, which is odd for something that has been around since 1864.  This play is an example of that: the score book reads 1-3-4-6 caught stealing.

The made is hard to see because you never truly see the second baseman, but the ball is only about 20 feet off the first base line.  It was a perfect throw, it really could have been any better.  When the play is slowed down the viewer can see the ball behind the runners back as he is sliding in to second.  The ball some how goes right into the glove.
