one time, I was in A while the defense had the Barry Bonds/Jason Giambi shift on for a lefty batter.
A grounder was hit to F4, and I started to cut in thinking "routine line drive to right field". As I started to cut I realized my failure. I looked the 2nd baseman right in the eye as he came up with the ball and realized the ball was coming right at my face. I hit the deck, almost to my stomach, with both knees on the ground.
It was a real banger at first, I got myself to one knee at least, and made the call.
Had a few laughs in the parking lot.
That gentleman, is the only time i've ever gotten on a knee on the baseball field
