Fakers

I don't know where this occurred, but I saw it on ESPN last season in college baseball. A player struck out and threw himself to the ground, acting like the pitch hit him. The ump didn't buy it. The player had such a hissy fit, he was ejected from the game. The game was recorded, and it was very obvious that he was never hit by the pitch. Boy, talk about taking it to the extreme! In other words, I guess a player COULD conceivably act like they got poked in the eye, but what player is going to take a chance on giving up the ball and not get the call?
