I remember

I remember from old episodes of TWIB that Ozzie Smith was a master at this. When he would see the runner on first not running, he would quickly back up and field the ball on a hop...and get a double play. Yes, he takes a risk that the ball could take a bad hop, but I guess he figured the ball would bounce "true" on Busch Stadium's astroturf.
