Here was a new one...couldn't believe my eyes!

FED ball - start of a new inning. Batter steps into the box. Takes ball one. I hear some rumbling from the players in his dugout. As he steps into the box for the second pitch some of the players are now yelling to him to "step out of the box".

Before the pitcher gets a chance to throw the second pitch, the other coach requests that the batter be intentionally walked. I point to first base, he drops his bat and trots to first, amid the now louder yells from his dugout, not to go. He pauses, and seems confused, but goes down to first anyway.

Once he gets there, the coach who requested the walk comes out and points out that he is the wrong batter - one slot too early. He's called out, and then returns to the box for his correct at bat!
