Baseball players are superheroes.

We have watched this repeatedly this week.

Michael Jordan –  “jump man symbol” right center over his body armour in gold.

He is sensational!

Watching him over the years, we have always been impressed with his onfield persona.

Sooo gentle at times with umpires, opposing batters, his reliable pitchers, the secondbaseman, well… any infielder (who he desperately needs to complete those plays) when he makes a bad throw.

He was always more worried about the wellbeing for both players if there was a collision on second than if so-and-so was safe or out and then… well… you know he played all winter in those Winter Leagues.

We think we are going to watch it one more time.

What is the best part?

When the pitch is fouled and the ricochets kicks up plumes of dirt right between the catcher and umpire’s feet & no one flinches?

Or when he asks for a slow breaking ball (for his own personal practice)?

Or when Yadi inspects the field for anything wrong at the end – then turns – and he seemed to say everything was normal.

And good.

And safe. 

You know.
