RAVE: Rick Ankiel's Athleticism

He's pretty raw out there, and that ball he threw into the dugout last night was preposterously bone-headed (where was Lohse?), but I still marvel at Ankiel's raw physical skills. That play he made going back last night was amazing for the amount of territory he covered and the last-second adjustment he made. He's a freak, IMO.

Lohse was enjoying the game from the best seat in the house, right in the middle of the infield. He had a plate full of nachos and a cold beer and just enjoying a pretty night in St. Louis.
Yeah, Ankiel is a special athlete for sure.

Let's just say that I like the cut of his jib.

Those years as Teen Idol Ricky really took a toll on him.
