The farcical four-handed flub by the Marlins' Josh Willingham (above, left) and Eric Reed—yep, they dropped it—and the smackdown that left Giant Nate Schierholtz (below, left) on the ground below Eugenio Velez required team efforts. Meanwhile more experienced big leaguers, like the Cubs' Carlos Zambrano (38) and the Orioles' Corey Patterson, tripped up on their own.
