The most basic sports move I could never do

A good pop-up slide; my great white buffalo.

Something I was never able to get right in little league and I’m confident in saying it will never happen. I could hire a personal slide coach, work on it for a year, and still not be able to do it. And it’s legitimately the easiest damn thing for a baseball player. More players struggle with separating frozen hamburger patties or flying drones than a nice, smooth, feet first pop-up slide. Even Billy Butler KINDA did one.

I had this realization back in little league so I made the decision to go head first in my next opportunity.
