New York Yankees rookie pitcher Shane Greene had three errors in Monday night's 4-2 loss to Texas, including one that may go down as the worst underhanded toss to first by a pitcher in the history of the major leagues.
It happened in the second inning as Greene fielded a grounder from Rangers batter Jim Aducci. Greene took a few steps toward first before tossing it to first, but the ball sailed over Kelly Johnson's head at first base - by at least 5 feet.
Despite the three errors, Greene managed to make it to the sixth inning while only giving up one run. Unfortunately, the wheels fell off there as manager Joe Girardi left him in too long, and Greene took the loss as the Yankees were defeated by the Rangers 4-2.
