Wake Up With Ken Griffey Jr Getting Caught By The Phantom Pick Off Play

I always thought Griffey Jr had better awareness than this, what are we doing Kid? And why the cocky Griffey? No need for that! He was never known to be a cocky guy, so you could tell something was up. Griffey hated that initial throw over, but thats what made it such a good call by the manager. Onions on that guy, eh? Then the next throw over, and the "ball gets away", fantastic job by the security guard. He sells the hell out of it. Griffey gets up and could have moonwalked to second, except for the fact that the pitcher has the ball. They're still pretending to chase the ball into the bullpen, meanwhile the shortstop gets the ball, places the tag on Griffey and thats the out. Pinella is dumbfounded, the crowd goes wild and Griffey has the worst awareness out of every baseball player ever. MVP of the play goes to the security guard again, what a guy.
