Rays Fan Yelling 'I Got It' Causes Two Mixups for Tigers Fielders
This week, one Tampa Bay Rays fan pulled the ol' "I got it!" trick.
In Wednesday's 8-7 loss, three Detroit Tigers players—second baseman Ian Kinsler, center fielder JaCoby Jones and right fielder Tyler Collins—were duped by voice from the stands on two occasions.
"I think the acoustics [of Tropicana Field] helped and the fact that there's not a huge number of people sitting in the stands," Brad Ausmus told Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. "Most of the time when you have a decent-sized crowd, it's all kind of white noise. All the noise kind of mixes together and nothing really stands out."

Ausmus wasn't complaining, though.
"It's fair game if you're a fan," he said. "I'm not blaming the fan or anything. He's within his rights to do that. We have to make the adjustment."
Maybe the fan learned from Alex Rodriguez, who pulled a similar move in 2007:
