THE MAGNIFICENCE OF Bobby Witt Jr. manifests itself on nearly every square inch of a baseball field. His swing is short and to the point, like the man himself, and it thwacks balls from foul pole to foul pole, often past them. His glove and arm are pocket aces -- individually excellent, together almost unassailable. His legs, though, offer the greatest splendor, the apex of the Bobby Witt experience, which is unlike anything in baseball.
Witt, who turned 24 Friday, is the shortstop for the Kansas City Royals, the biggest surprise in baseball.
