Mets fan celebrates too early in Yankee Stadium EPIC FAIL 'Put it in the books!'

While Castillo drops a routine pop fly at Yankees vs Mets Subway Series 2009 in Yankees Stadium..
June 12, 2009 - New York Mets second baseman Luis Castillo dropped a short fly ball by Alex Rodriguez, letting two runs score and giving the New York Yankees a 9-8 win over the cross-town rivals.
At the end of the clip there is a replay on the big screen of Castillo dropping the routine pop fly.

This "subway series" was apparently an interleague REGULAR-SEASON game. It was June 12, 2009. This play started with 2 out in bottom of the 9th, and if that fly ball had been caught, the Mets would have won 8-7. Instead, the Yankees scored those 2 runs, thus the winning run scored with 2 out and the game ended that way.

The Yankees are number one, at 56 percent, with the Mets at 33 percent, followed by 3 percent for the Red Sox, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.

[@metsfreak4life]

as a lifelong pessimistic met fan and having flashbacks to the dropped routine fly ball by daniel murphy that april and the dropped pop up by delgado in may of that year, I did not celebrate one bit as that ball was in the air. From the moment arod made contact with the ball to the moment castillo dropped it i was literally saying nervously "Please dont drop it! Please dont drop it! Please dont drop it! Please dont drop it!" then it happened. at least i know better as a met fan than this guy is
