  • Let’s face it: baseball isn’t the most titillating, fast-paced sport ever invented. Perhaps this is why you’re so surprised when Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Francisco Liriano manages to recover from his pitch in time to catch a line-drive hit between his legs while facing the opposite direction. It’s almost as if he doesn’t believe his own luck, because he immediately throws it to first base even though the runner is already out.
