What’s the most aesthetically pleasing play on a baseball field? This is a question I think about a lot, in large part because it has no answer.

My sense is that, if you polled a random group of fans Family Feud style, the number one answer would be some variation of “massive moonshot dong that knocks a satellite out of orbit.” And, yes, I love no-doubt homers, too. But I’m more partial to plays that take a little bit longer to develop: triples, inside-the-park home runs, home run robberies, etc.

The beauty of these type of plays is that they afford you the chance to visualize the many possible outcomes before one of them wins out and comes to pass.
