Using Your Noggin

One of the biggest problems I have with Major League Baseball is that there aren't enough bloopers. The sport could use more incidents like the one that occurred in last night's game:
    A fly ball by Dustin Pedroia to right almost turned into a blooper-reel play when the ball hit off [Michael] Cuddyer's glove and bounced up onto the bill of his hat. After a quick bounce to two on the bill, the ball happened to fall down to the left and right into Cuddyer's glove.

    For the team's renowned magician, it almost looked like a bit of a magic act. Well, not so, if you ask Cuddyer.

    "Hands down that was the probably the ugliest catch I've had in my career," Cuddyer said with a laugh.
You can see the video of the catch here.
