Summer Catch?

Solid effort by this guy. Instead of trying to catch Adrian Beltre's blast this guy decided to turn his head and duck. I'll give you that Beltre put some Greg Oden sized wood on this thing, but this guy's reaction is just disgraceful. The ball had already traveled a couple hundred feet and had to have slowed down more than a Trevor Hoffman fastball. Come on, the guy could have at least tried to get a hand on it.

This guy reacted like that kid on your little league team who always got put in right field or at second base. You know the kid, he was the one who cringed whenever a ball came his way like a father that just found out his 14 year old was dating the captain of the football team. In fact, what are the chances this guy was that kid on someone's little league team. I think I would wager my left ear Van Gogh style this guy was a 2 and 1 special his entire little league career. I'm actually surprised he didn't bring his glove with him to the game to complement the jersey. There is basically no excuse for any self-respecting guy to be wearing a jersey after age 18. Hat fine. T-shirt, no problem. But please stop trying to squeeze into your vintage Varitek jersey, it does not make you a better fan or lessen the fact that you couldn't catch a flyball if your life depended on it.
