I do NOT watch any professional sports at any level (including college pros–yeh, they’re mostly pros. Don’t let me get started). Boring. But this guy, with one lil save, has made me a fan. Not a baseball fan or a fan of his “club,” just an Evan Longoria fan:
Imagine that woman’s face if Longoria hadn’t sensed the ball coming and intervened. I’ve caught hard-hit balls barehanded, and it’s not a lot of fun, but my peripheral vision wouldn’t have zeroed in on that ball, even with the warning crack from the hit, on my best day, in my best shape.
Good save.
And did you see the look of shock (and awe?) on the interviewer’s face? Priceless. No doubt she’s a fan now, too, eh? 😉
