Heh... Another over-40 baseball tale-- That play reminded me of coaching 1st one time- the batter who'd just reached base was a bass player in a hard rock band, who said he was deaf in one ear from being next to the drummer for years. I told him, "Stay close to the bag, this guy's got a good pickoff move."
He turned toward me and said, "What?"
Boom. Throw. Tag. Out. 😂
