With twenty-four stolen bases on the year, Kansas City Royals' shortstop Alcides Escobar, makes stealing bases look easy. But on this play, Chicago White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers, makes it look even easier. While trying to throw Escobar out at second, Flowers somehow manages to throw the ball backwards. The ball probably slipped due to the rain, just as the White Sox's reign in the AL Central is beginning to slip.Aren't you happy that I didn't make any puns on the name "Flowers"?Check out this bizzarre play here:Your browser does not support iframes.
