There was a lot of hype about Amazin' Amezaga's famous play in the Mexican League two years ago. The hype, of course, was perpetrated by staunch advocates Rich Waltz and Tommy Hutton. I expected something underwhelming, disappointing even.
Then I saw it. Wow! For your enjoyment, here is the play (it's a little hard to see, but I think you can make it out):
Was that incredible or what?

It's a damn shame that Amezaga couldn't hit the side of a barn because he is, in my opinion, our best defender.
The guy can play any position and play it well. That's in addition to the fact that he is a speedy little guy. If he could only hit, he would be a lock as a starter at CF for a long time.
I hope the Marlins keep him around for a while just based on his ability to be that "utility" guy. Even though he makes me want to break things when he is at bat, I still like the guy. He displays such heart and effort in everything he does on the field.
A lot of guys should take a page from his book (not any pages that involve any hitting tips -- those should be skipped).
that play was alright, i guess... NOT. wowee! what a play. that's one of those that you practice in your sleep, but never on the field. you don't prepare to do that, you just do it. great find, thanks AS.
As a former baseball and current beer league softball shortstop I imust say ...
That is friggin unbelieveable.
