Scooter Gennett Will Ollie Around Your Tag
Scooter Gennett, a young man of 23, found himself in a bad situation. When one finds himself between a proverbial rock and hard place, one tends to rely in his instincts. In the above case, Gennett’s instincts told him to throw down a sick skateboarding move. Had he an actual deck under his feet, there is no doubt in the current author’s mind that Gennett would have kick-flipped the shit out of Carlos Corporan’s face.
Alas, Gennett was boardless, causing him to not only get tagged out, but to cost his team a possible run in a the tightest of games.

How else was he supposed to get over the bat which was conveniently left in his way?
