Gotcha, gotcha.

Honestly if it weren't for Cleveland knocking out The Jays, I'd have a really hard time choosing who to cheer for. I'm pretty neutral with both teams and would probably just enjoy watching both equally, but given the circumstances, I have an easier time picking sides. ;)

This is the greatest baseball play of all time (except for every play of the 1995 World Series).

Haha, that's crazy! I don't know baseball rules well. Does the catcher have to tag him with his glove?

Yep! Incredible play. Honestly, I'm surprised it isn't done all the time. I mean, I guess it's a pretty high injury risk, but that's a small price to pay for style.

I imagine it's also not very easy. I mean, he was going pretty fast, but he still had to clear a grown man and land on the plate before the catcher could tag him. Crazy. The best part is, that clutch play helped bring the Jays up into 30th place!

Braves organization has been slammed with some of the harshest penalties the MLB has issued in ages for some rules violations concerning the international player market (including a lifetime ban from baseball for the GM responsible). This certainly doesn't look good for the Bravos, and it's just another reason why I'll continue to insist that Atlanta is the World's Most Depressing 3+ Sport City.
