This could be an illegal ball. In the end, Grudzielanek grounded out to pitcher Roy Oswalt for the first out in the home half of second the second inning.

In the 12th inning of a game between the Minnesota Twins and the Kansas City Royals on April 24, 2010, Minnesota was leading 9–7 with two outs.

Both players remained on the field after the pregame ceremony, each waiting for the other to return to their respective dugout. Gibson ended the standoff by motioning both players back to their dugouts, with the Dodgers celebrating in their dugout after a Van Slyke victory. This incident was recorded in video form, and was used as an outro by the MLB’s official YouTube channel for all videos posted in 2014.
