It’s usually hard to find the upside when your team loses its first three games of the season to the reigning American League champion Kansas City Royals.
But thanks to center fielder Adam Eaton’s amazing catch Thursday afternoon during the series finale at Kauffman Stadium, White Sox fans will have something to talk about other than how dreadful their team is again this year.
Not even announcer Hawk Harrelson’s annoying call of the play can take away just how awesome Eaton’s grab was. I mean, “You have got to be bleeping me”? That’s awful.
Unfortunately, the rest of the game was beyond brutal for White Sox fans, as their beloved team fell to the Royals 4-1. For as titillating as that catch was, Eaton’s performance at the plate was pretty much the exact opposite, as he went 0-for-4 and saw his average dip to .083.
But hey, it’s early.
Here’s a throw that should create a little movement below the belt: Probably the Best Throw You Will Ever See
