The Play that Never Works

Brandon Duckworth picked off Carlos Gomez in the second inning, recorded as a caught stealing. The Royals starter faked him out with the fake to third throw to first play. So yes, it does work. The teams are tied at two in the bottom of the sixth.

Yeah, I've heard it as "the play that never works" but I've seen it work twice in one game.
