I remember the first time I saw him play. We were in Baltimore watching the O’s take on Oakland. This Oakland guy we’d never seen kept stealing bases. After about the 3rd time, Mr WJ73 and I just looked at each other and said, “Who IS that guy?” We learned in a hurry.

I would have figured he could have outrun it.
