I love me some day baseball. Usually on Thursdays you'll get a handful of games played under natural light, today we had nine afternoon contests on get-away day.
Jim Edmonds got a hit in his first Cubs at-bat, Cleveland's starters remain hot although the scoreless streak ended, but the Washington Nationals and Willie Harris stole the show.
With a 1-0 lead in the 9th at Shea Stadium, man on first, Mr. Irrelevant provides video of an 'impossible play' made by Willie Harris. The diving catch looks like something you see a lot, but consider how much ground he covered in that span and how fast he was running when he made the catch. This would have been a double, possibly a triple had the Nats old left fielder Alfonso Soriano been covering that ground.
If there was ever an opportunity to cheer like a softball girl, this would have been the time. Nats won the game 1-0 and took the series 3-1. Take that, Nelson Figueroa.
