Thanks to all...never went on that site before. Boy, that's a play that may define Holliday's entire career. What a shame.

The off season will be interesting for him. His fielding prowess demonstrates as a Free Agent that he may be better suited to be a DH but an earlier stint in the AL for him this year proved to be less than stellar. This is the same left field where Pedro Guerrero stood and looked up in disgust as Jack Clark's home run off Tom Neidenfeur (sp?) sailed deep into the stands sending the Cards towards the WS. Ah, the circle of life.

This story had me laughing so hard that I had to wipe my tears away. I feel your pain but it's also such a funny story. I usually always calculate maximum my bank account can sustain before bidding. Unfortunately I usually lowball my wife's spending activities.

He thought it was coming in slightly higher and he could catch it with his glove turned up, then at the last minute it sunk on him and he had to flip his glove down and just wasn't set properly. A Jack Dunn moment.

Right after he made the infamous "muff" Snodgrass made a tremendous running catch to temporarily save the game which everyone forgets. Snodgrass was always bitter, even in his last years on earth, that people didn't remember that catch.
The thing about Holliday's muff was, as pointed out, that there were still 2 outs and the Cards up 1 run. This is reminiscent of the fact that even though Buckner made an error in Game 6 there was still a game 7 to play (and the Sox actually led in that game). I bet 95% of the people who even know who Bill Buckner is think the boot occurred in the fnal game of the Series.

Keep in mind that Buckner and Snodgrass made their muffs in the 6th and 7th games of the World Series. Holliday's was only in the second game of the first round. So it wasn't at quite such a dramatic moment...but it still was pretty bad.
