The Shape of Things to Come

Yesterday, Billy Hamilton of the Cincinnati Reds came into run for Ryan Ludwick who singled. It's the seventh inning. In case you don't know, Billy Hamilton is one of the Reds hottest prospects. He's also fast. Very fast. Make that very, very fast. Well, he promptly stole second even though St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadir Molina's throw beat him. His throw was wide probably due to Hamilton's speed. And you got to love what happens next, Reds fans. Third baseman Todd Frazier singled and Hamilton easily scored. The Reds went onto win the game, 1-0. It's the shape of things to come. Here's the video of the stolen base and Frazier's single.
