16. A-Rod Swipe

Date: 10/19/2004
Those Involved: Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees

Dropping four straight games to the rival Red Sox to lose the 2004 American League Championship Series 3-4 embarrassed the Yankees, but not half as much as when Rodriguez sweetly swiped at pitcher Bronson Arroyo's glove to knock the ball out and avoid being tagged out in game six. Umps called A-Rod for interference but we just call him soft.
