Flashback Friday: Marco Scutaro Steals Second Base on a Walk

In baseball, they always talk about the "heads-up play"; taking opportunities when they're presented and allowing your baseball instincts to take over. It's thinking and acting on the fly when the other team isn't.

So in honour of Marco Scutaro's retirement, for this week's Flashback Friday we'll take a look at the quintessential heads-up play; the time Marco Scutaro stole second base immediately after drawing a walk.

The game took place June 18th 2009 as the Toronto Blue Jays took on the Philadelphia Phillies. Marco Scutaro faced Joe Blanton and drew a leadoff walk in the top of the third inning.
