UNITED STATES - CIRCA 2000: St. Louis Cardinals' pitcher Rick Ankiel pitches in the first inning against the New York Mets in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series at Busch Stadium. Ankiel continued his errant ways by hurling two wild pitches and sending five balls to the backstop in only 2/3 of an inning pitched. The Mets went on to beat the Cardinals, 6-5, to take a two game lead in the best of seven series. (Photo by Keith Torrie/NY Daily News Archive via Getty Images)
