To keep the narrative of the history of the rod alive,
I would like to begin a top ten plays list. Since they
are hard to remember, I think we can blend the "web gems"
and the "touch 'em all" categories. I propose we select
the plays based on:
1)Awesomeness (sic.)
2)Game situation
3)Spite for the other team
4)Spite for our own team
5)Can't nominate self
(there must be others)
I have two nominees (I'm terrible at context, so I'll have
to explain some next week):
1) "Web Gem Fireworks" Mark's sweet 8th inning catch (7/5/07)
2) "Chad Vader" Chad's homerun/triple (he hit is so far he was able to
run for a homerun and keep running for a triple). This spring,
I can look up the date.
3)"The relay" Sorry Cory.
We'll have to come up with cool names.

nice thought there Bri. Can we nominate Jeanne's inside the park homerun from a couple of weeks ago?
Here are two more:
1. "The original": Bri's takedown of the thundering Budballer as she headed to first . . . I believe there is a reenactment of that floating around someplace. I hear they might even be making it into a screenplay.
2. "Message from heaven": Gerardo's hail mary released from deeeeeeeep left field that stuck the base-runer a step before she crossed home plate. Sure, it hit her in the head and she was safe, but I swear he released it as she was rounding second.

I nominate Allyson's two putouts from the catcher's position last night. Yes, they seem routine, but I don't think we've ever had a catcher throw anyone out at first base. I also second Jason's "Message from Heaven". Still the best kickball throw I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of throws.
Yes, Alyson's put-outs were pretty sweet. I do recall, though, that Sara Ward threw out a lady running to first in season's past ... nailed her right in the back. Super sweet. Gotta love the drilling.

True. I mentioned this to Mark as well. But to get it all the way to first ahead of the runner is something the Rod has yet to see. That's a powerful arm back there behind the plate....
