THREE OUTSTANDING PLAYS THIS SPRING TRAINING!

I just want to share this because while I could care less about Spring Training games, I do care about and respect the game. It's just that I don't want to get wrapped up in scores that don't matter. Spring training is for the youth to get showcased and for the team roster to get ready for the season. Anyway... I'm getting off track.

So far this Spring, there have been 3 plays (technically 4) that have really "WOWed" me and I wanted to share them with all of my BYB family.

The first one came when Josh Reddick of the Oakland A's made, not one outstanding catch to rob a batter of a home run... but 2, by reaching over the fence to make the play.



Simply outstanding and not only that, the catches game just batters away from each other.  Awesome!

Second has to be Mason Williams from the other day.  He was playing centerfield for the Yankees and made a terrific diving catch.  I'm a Williams fan and I hope we get to see this kid at point soon.



Don't forget, not only is Williams a talented player, he's a talented musician with our friend, Dante Bichette Jr.  Navy 58 baby!



Finally this, and it's a doozy.  Now look, I'm a huge Mike Trout fan.  Alittle trivia for all ya'll.  It just so happens that today Trout cranked a hit that to the naked eye, was clearly an inside-the-park home run.  1 problem; Yasiel Puig threw to the cut-off quickly and the next thing you know, Trout was pegged out at the plate.



Now, there are a lot of great things that I've seen over the years.  I love a big home run, I love clutch hits and I love good pitching.  But my favorite is great defense... you do that for me, in little league or as a pro ballplayer and you have me! That's baseball!

Just thought I'd share.  Please pass this post along, it's pretty alot of great baseball, the greatest game in the world.
