It is Absolutley the most BIZZARE Play I have seen in MLB since the Buckner '86 "Oooopsie" Play...

The Hitter can look to the umpire after a strike 3 hits the dirt, and the Ump must tell him weather it was a good catch or not. The 3rd strike was called, but it was low, and with the possibility of it in the dirt, the catcher must tag the hitter, or the hitter can head to first base and must be run down or thrown out.
NO Call was given by the Ump so Pierzynski heads to first, the Angels think the inning is over and head to the dugout. Pierzenski is safe at first.
This was a miscommunication between the Ump and the Angels catcher, and the rest goes into weird History.

(I Cant Say I'm an Angels fan, Go Oakland and Boston!, But If i were, I'd Be PISSED, I never saw the ball hit the ground.)
