Baseball Controversy

A great baseball controversy that was discussed a lot was Alex Rodriguez on the Yankees when he shouted "I got it" when he was on his way home. The problem was the two outfielders went to got to the fly ball and when they heard A-Rod they let the ball hit the ground thinking that one of them called it. Seen at almost every game at every level you will see a routine fly ball. So if two fielders go to catch it one may say "I got it" so they both don't go for it. Many people say that what he did was just being clever others reply it should not be allowed.

If you look at this at a ethical stand point asking yourself "What-If-Everybody-Did-This" you would see that outfielders would get injured and there would be many thrown games. Due to miss communication in baseball games outfielders collide into one another resulting in injures. Also important playoff games may be blown due to this, which can lead an outfielder to miss a routine fly ball.
