Looking back at Aaron Altherr's inside-the-park grand slam

We saw an inside-the-park home run that started the World Series. But that was only worth one measly run.

The inside-the-park home run is one of the most humiliating plays in baseball.

Stay tuned for more of The Good Phight; a blog that breaks down baseball's plays into why they are embarrassing, and for whom.
