Schmidt Scores From First on a Wild Pitch.

You don't often get to re-visit a play in which two future Hall of Famers are the principals. But here's one. Phillies-Mets, April 18, 1988. All said, according to Dom Consentino on Deadspin, the game was "incredibly ugly. There were 12 walks, five wild pitches, three batters hit by a pitch, and 19 runners left on base."

"The game," Mets manager Davey Johnson told Newsday at the time, "doesn't deserve much comment."

But this play does: Gary Carter behind the plate, some kid named David Cone on the mound, and 38-year-old Mike Schmidt on first. Cone buries a ball in the dirt in front of Carter and it slips past, rolls all the way to the dugout and then continues to roll along the edge without falling in. Carter is stumbling and trying to grab the ball, Schmidt take second and continues to third, Cone (and every other infielder) fails to cover home, so Schmidt rolls home and scores standing up.

Cone and Johnson probably should be in the Hall along with Carter and Schmidt. But I don't get a vote and I'm glad fans don't or we'd end up with some real hoseheads in the Hall.

See the video on Deadspin It's pretty astounding.
