Infielders try to deceive base runners all the time by pretending they have the ball or are catching the ball. That might have even won the World Series for the Twins, one year. So, what's wrong with the base runner saying, "I've got it"? I say the infielders should expect things like this and have plays in place so it doesn't happen. In the outfield the center fielder always takes any ball that he can get to. If the third basemen always takes any ball he can get to and the shortstop always lets him, then they never would have been distracted by A-Rod in the first place. These players are professionals, and to not have plays like that worked out beforehand is just Bush League. I think it's hilarious that A-Rod was able to do that, and that it actually worked! If I were the Toronto infielders I would just shut my mouth and make sure something like that could never happen again. That's what it means to be Professional.
