Giving The Extra Effort
Quick props to the YES Network's Michael Kay and the telecast's director for giving something you don't often hear during a baseball game.
I believe it was when the Yankees were trailing the Bosox 2-0 with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 7th inning of last night's game. The director cut to shots of each Red Sox outfielder. As each one was shown, Kay told the audience about the throwing strength of each guy (Ramirez, average; Damon, below average; Kapler, pretty strong).
Now, that's an "above and beyond the call of duty"...an ABCD, if you will. In case of a base hit to the outfield, the viewers had a better sense of whether the Yanks could get the tying run home. Nice touch.
Forget Anna: This Russian hottie...
...can play tennis. She's in the Wimbledon final, and she's pretty much my favorite tennis player now.
