Melky Cabrera High Fives Joe West
April 4, 2011
On June 10th of last season, in the fifth inning of a Braves-Diamondbacks game, Martin Prado hit an infield single to third base. Teammate Melky Cabrera took third on the play. Famous umpire Joe West called time to allow then-Arizona coach A.J. Hinch to make a pitching change.
Then this happened:
Deep, prostrating bows to Peter Hjort of Capitol Avenue Club for drawing our attention to this almost forgotten event and Jeff Sullivan of Lookout Landing for his unparalleled .gif-ing skills.
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
I think we can all guess what happened next…
