Los Angeles third baseman Pedro Guerrero had committed several hard-to-believe fielding errors during one game. This was during the same time that Dodgers' second baseman Steve Sax was undergoing his horrendous and well-publicized fielding slump in which he couldn't throw the most routine ball to first without trouble.
In the post-game meeting, Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda was at a loss with Guerrero.
"What are you thinking out there," Lasorda asked.
"Two things," Guerrero said.
"What's the first thing?"
"God, don't let them hit the ball to me."
"And what's the other thing," Lasorda said.
"Don't let them hit the ball to Steve Sax."

Plus, it’s FUN!
