Kind of like reminding everybody that it was Prescott who warned the American colonists about the British coming, not Paul Revere. Revere was detained by the British for several hours, while Samuel Dawes took a spill on his horse, leaving Prescott to alert the American colonists about the British.

 

 

Sounds like "alternate facts" to me...

If I can be contrarian just for a moment ......  it's a very good catch, but this picture shows Jones really wasn't at full extension. He's what, 18 inches off the ground? It's a very good play, but we've seen him make many tougher catches in his career.

It's not.

The Revere myth/Longfellow's poem are the alternate facts.

Yup.  If you read a couple posts further down you would have seen that I have already been corrected.

From Buck this morning...

 

“The thing I loved about it the most was there was a Yankee fan that was trying to get into the field of play that he took it away from. That was probably the highlight for me. Sorry.”

 

MASN, Roch

 

I love Buck!

Not sure what you're looking at. His arm is fully extended just not directly over his head. He timed the jump perfectly.

I think what was maybe unnoticed was his positioning. He certainly had to go back but the angle shows he was deeper to start. That would "bode" well.

For all the talk of him making plays like that all the time, when was the last time Jones went over the wall for a HR?  I'd be willing to bet it wasn't last season.

Who is team USA's outfield coach?

He and Davis were both very hurt last season.

I've noticed that as I have aged I get hurt more often and it takes longer to recover.  My left knee is bothering me a bit right now and I have no idea what I even did to tweak it.
