Mulligan -10 Moments Sports Stars Wish They Could Do Over

I know, most of you are on pins and needles thinking how I could come up with a Bonds moment. It's just what I do...(thanks to Randall on this one)....This proud moment is called giving Andy Van Slyke the finger on the play that haunts Pirate fans to this day: (Van Slyke's recount) Not so with Andy Van Slyke, who appears on MLB's 20 Greatest Games on MLB Network (Sunday, 7 p.m. ET) to recount playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the Atlanta Braves in Game 7 of the 1992 National League Championship Series.

Van Slyke, playing center field, recalls asking Pirates teammate Barry Bonds to move in on the Braves' Francisco Cabrera, who was at-bat in the ninth inning.

Bonds demurred. Or as Van Slyke recalls, "He turned and looked at me and gave me the international peace sign. So I said, 'Fine, you play where you want.' "

Cabrera's hit then dropped in front of Bonds, who then barely missed throwing out the game-winning and series-ending run at the plate.

Bonds, of course, went on to have more problems following directions.

Evander Holyfield you say? Why would he be on this list of bad decisions. Sure, he has made a few poor choices, including a boxing match earlier this year at age 48. However, his biggest error in judgment may have been a head butt against "Iron Mike" Tyson in 1997. Holyfield won this rematch via a disqualification of Tyson. From Wikipedia: Holyfield's rematch with Tyson took place on June 28, 1997. Known as "The Bite Fight," it would go into the a****s of boxing as one of the most bizarre fights in history. The infamous incident occurred in the third round, when Tyson bit Holyfield on one of his ears and had two points deducted. Referee Mills Lane decided to disqualify Tyson initially, but after Holyfield and the ringside doctor intervened and said Holyfield could continue, he relented and allowed the fight to go on. However, Tyson went on to bite Holyfield again, this time on the other ear. Tyson, with his teeth, tore off the top of his ear, known as the helix, and spit the flesh out on the ring.
According to "Tyson" the Documentary, the ear biting incident was a result of Evander's continuous head butting of Tyson. Thus, his head butting Mike Tyson makes my list of moments Evander wishes he did over.
