Can I just say I SAW THIS?
http://m.mlb.com/news/article/195181944/jackie-bradley-jr-makes-highlight-reel-play/
First pitch of the game: Segura lofts a long fly ball to right-center, Jackie Bradley Jr. lazily tracking it back, back, back, and just as he's about to catch it he SLIPS on something - the lip of the warning track? And he tumbles over, the ball bouncing off his glove and into the grass. Segura makes it all the way to THIRD by the time the ball comes in. The crowd groans. Not the greatest omen for the three hours we have ahead of us.
Second pitch of the game: A frozen rope line drive to dead center, looks like a base hit for sure. JBJ barrels towards it, and amazingly, implausibly, catches it off the tops of his shoes. Everyone gasps. And in one motion, he fires the ball home with such unbelievable power that Segura, tagging at third on the catch, decides whoa, I'm going back to third, I can't beat that. But it's too late. The throw was so hard, and so accurate, that Bryan Holaday (who he?) grabs it and fires to third before Segura can get back. Double play. Nobody on the bases, two out.
(Morbs were you there??)

farrell saves the best ones for when he's being ejected
Ortiz's 1994 Arizona League teammates who made it to the majors:
Wilson Delgado
Tommy Hinzo (before '94)
Dusty Wathan
Ken Cloude
Shawn Estes
Aaron Scheffer*
Roy Smith
Kerry Woodson
*Faced him in high school and barely got a bunt down. Terrifying.
Played some pick-up ball and was high school teammates with another one of this team's pitchers (local demigod, didn't make it out of A-ball).
