As the market quickly erased a sizable chunk of the losses explanations began whipping around: some said it was a fat-fingered trade, others blamed the shocking fall on some type of technical error at an exchange.
The second baseman fielded Roger Bernadina's grounder in the fifth but dropped the ball in exchange from glove to hand, for the Giants' 15th error in their last eight games.
According to a report compiled for Hong Kong's legislature, the exchange was notified at 9.10am on March 31st by a lawyer for Goldman that an error had been made and quotes would be suspended.
