Rubber Chuckers

POTW: Brendan Sweeney

Rubber Chuckers

Brendan had a game that should intimidate anyone. His base running was something to marvel at, one his way to second he managed to avoid a throw to by displaying his kung-fu ninja skillz. He went to duck the throw, tripped, managed to turn it into a ninja roll and made it safely to second. And if that wasn't intimidating enough as an offensive player, on defense his play was exceptional as well. Playing center field Brendan was fielding balls left and right. On a pop fly, with a runner on second he caught the ball for a fly-out, the runner at second left early, realized the ball had been caught and attempted to dive back to the base. Brendan, in all his glory, runs after the runner screaming like a banshee, the runner dives short, hears and sees Brendan coming at him, curls into the fetal position and awaits the hit of the red rubber... which never comes. Brendan lightly taps the runner for an amazing double play. The runner is forever scarred by Brendan's antics (not really)...
