Not Exactly Seattle Slough

News Flash: I have to admit that I don't know this first-hand. Supposedly, Richie Sexson tried to steal a base for Seattle last night against one of the best catchers in the league, Ivan Rodriguez. This would be funny to see, since Richie Sexson is 6'8"/240lbs and slower than slow. Apparently he was thrown out very easily. Now usually a team would be mad at a player for doing such a stupid thing, but this time they were impressed by his dedication. You see, he was accidently given the steal sign by the coach, and so he tried to steal even though he knew he had no chance.

Anyone who can find me video of this incident will earn my eternal respect and admiration!

I watched the game and must admit it was quite comical. The funny thing was how much of a hard time Ichiro was giving him in the dugout. I will see if i can find the video.

you may have trouble finding vid of that, as mlb has all the strict broadcast rules, copyright, etc. so it would have to have the written approval blah blah blah
