Another MLB Oddity...
Tonight's game versus the Tampa Bay Devil Rays brings yet another MLB oddity that I don't ever recall seeing... Jorge Cantu hit a deep fly to center field off Curt Schilling and picked up an RBI on a sacrifice fly -- because Carl Crawford scored from second base!!! That's right, Crawford tagged up after Damon caught the ball; Damon lackadaisically threw the ball in, but the speedy Crawford was motoring all the way, rounded third, and easily beat the relay throw at home to score from second base on a routine pop-up!!!

That was some heads-up baserunning by Crawford. Without that, the Rays would have lost by only 14 runs.
You're right, that is something that doesn't happen very often. Doesn't Damon have a bad shoulder though? Think it might be his throwing shoulder, not 100% certain. Crawford must have known something. Damon with a healthy shoulder has a wet paper towel arm...
