June 21, 200421 yr Of the 210 (confirmed) times the hidden ball trick has actually worked, in the history of baseball, our Beloved manager, Ozzie Guillen, has been on the wrong end of the trick 3 times, more than 1% of all of the times the hidden ball trick has occured in all of baseball history. :headshake http://www.retrosheet.org/hidden.htm He also has unconfirmed pulled off the hidden ball trick sucessfully two times. If you know of a game where this happened, email Retro Sheet.
June 21, 200421 yr Author I was gonna put this in palehose Talk. Wrong window. If a mod wants to move it. Thanks.
June 21, 200421 yr That's a great link, Cheat! Man, the Sox had more than their fair share of cheaters, didn't they? Chick Gandill - I'm shocked!! also... Babe Pinelli. Fred McMullin. Willie Kamm (2x!). Mike Tresh and Joe Kuhel. Tony Cuccinello. Roy Schalk!?! Chico Carrasquel?! Lil' Nell??? Jack Brohamer, Mike Squires and Vance Law (now it's hitting close to home with players I grew up with). Robin Ventura and Ray Durham (Daggers in my heart!)... In Ozzie's defense, although he got duped, he is only on the 'suspected cheaters' list. .
