The Funniest Baseball Mistake Ever

I was just out playing softball with one of the units of students during my prep period. Many of these kids do not play ball and are not really familiar with all the ins and outs of the games. One of them understands the goading of players to make mistakes.

I was playing 2ndish base. Situation: player on 1st, no outs.

Paul is hit the left fielder/SS charges in and scoops the ball. Throw to second base. Runner out. Second base turns to throw a perfect strike for a double play.

The runner who just hit the ball, stopped about five feet from attaining first base. He turns and looks at me and makes a funny face trying to get me to throw and hopefully achieve an error.

I cock my arm and take a step as if I was going to throw the ball. The runner realizes his mistakes and scampers off to his last base, home plate. Ball is gently thrown to 1st base and the runner if out.

On paper it is 6-4-3 double play but in reality much funnier.
