Last night’s loss to the Blue Jays was embarrassing in a lot of ways. The Yankees lost 8 - 1 to a team 10 games under .500, Masahiro Tanaka allowed eight runs on three home runs (including a grand slam), and Todd Frazier fell for the hidden ball trick. It’s a night the Yankees, their fans, and Frazier himself likely want to forget ever happened, but we can’t. We have to remember the hidden ball trick.
This legendary trick play was once common in the game, but is rarely ever pulled off anymore.
