And I should add: the play by both Murphy (the 2B) and Tejada was very poorly executed. It was one of those attempts at a gee whiz highlight film play that displayed very poor fundamentals and was desperate. That double play would not have been turned, even if executed flawlessly. The feed from Murphy was one of those semi-lobs as he ran past the bag - it wasn't sharp or on the mark, it set Tejada up to be bowled over. On Tejada's end, it wasn't missing the toe tap on the bag that was the worst (as everyone seems focused on), it was the plant and ballet pirouette turn to throw that was at best a highly ill-advised grandstand attempt at a miracle throw. He should have taken the out at second and held the ball, he had no chance to make such a late, off-balance twist and throw. He would as likely thrown it into the stands as gotten it within range of the first-baseman, and by the time it got there the runner would have been three steps past first base.
