Chicago Cubs: Can Javier Baez ‘swim’ his way into October lore?

Chicago Cubs fans recognize that sometimes a player comes along who just makes you feel good about being a fan. I had that same feeling when growing up watching Michael Jordan. We just wanted the ball in Michael’s hand no matter what. It was amazing to watch and see what he would do on the court with a basketball.

One of my favorite Jordan moves is when he’s flying through the air with the ball extended, just daring opponents to try and snatch it from his hand. Of course, someone always takes the bait and as they reach for the ball he casually ‘flicks’ it to his other hand and stuffs the basket (with tongue out).
