The Tampa Bay Rays pulled the old hidden ball trick on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Juan Uribe on Saturday. Don’t they teach you to keep your eye on the ball in little league? The third base umpire knew where the ball was. Check out the video below:
As Bugs Bunny used to say, “What a maroon!” It goes to show you that mistakes can be made even among the world’s best, in any business. You just have to learn from your mistakes, and move on.
Even though Juan Uribe fell for the hidden ball trick, his team still won the game 5-0. He has already taken plenty of playful ribbing from his teammates, including being presented a shoe taped to a base. I’m sure he won’t quit because of this, and if you have some setbacks, you shouldn’t quit either.
