If you were watching the Cubs-Cards game on Friday (and if you weren’t, what were you doing??) you saw a remarkable performance from Anthony Rizzo. Against the St Louis reliever, Daniel Ponce de Leon, who got ahead of him with two strikes, Rizzo fouled off eight straight pitches, and then, he homered—while standing on one leg!
If you look at the replay, Rizzo’s characteristic swing from his knees, becomes him hitting off his front foot while his back leg tries to reset itself—and he still homered!
