The defense has their first and third defend called and the runner takes off and they don't expect a swing and all of a sudden there's all kinds of home for the hitter to just tap a ground ball through. Learned that from Whitey Herzog.
I met Whitey a couple of years ago. He had this cane that looked like a baseball bat. I told him it looked cool.
He told me- "Well I couldn't hit shit with it so I figured I'd get some use out of it". LOL. And RIP.
But yeah I love home runs and I'm the biggest Babe Ruth and Mark McGwire fan out there. But small ball and chaos is fun too. I hope MLB gets back to some of that along with the home runs. That's why I liked Tony LaRussa so much and Cohen too- you had a little bit of everything.
