...And Other Tributes to '09's Best Baseball Blooper

Baseball fans!  Here for your amusement are The Matt Holliday Song, the Matt Holliday Appreciation Song, other music video tributes, and unique footage of Matt Holliday dropping the ball in Game 2 of the 2009 NLDS.

It wasn't as bad as "It gets through Buckner!" but it was still an instant classic in baseball bloopers.

This page also exposes a shocking secret: Dodgers fans cheated to cause Holliday's error. See below!

"For those of you just tuning in..." the actual game footage of Hollday's error is archived here on MLB.com. But here's another view: a fan's video from the stands. Notice the rally towels aren't waving until AFTER the ball drop.

Danny Kaye's 1962 Homage to "Dem Bums"... with legos

This fan video using a nearly 60-year-old song shows that Holliday simply ran afoul of the Dodgers Way: winning via small ball and a comedy of errors. How do you think they earned the nickname "Dem Bums" back in Brooklyn?

Feel free to leave a comment -- keep it clean, please; there's kids around! Laugh and point at the Dodgers as you like -- they ARE the Bums, after all -- but sometimes, you just gotta celebrate the crazy stuff that happens in baseball.
