Okay we've all seen this video by now. I don't really want to prolong the agony of the umpire missing the call. But my thing is this is really poor execution of the hidden ball trick as well. I've seen Bronco kids pull it off better. Common, F4 sprinting to the runner who really hasn't gotten off the base yet. The actuality of how poor it was done makes it even worse that the call was wrong.
