Jacksonville vs. Florida Atlantic, elimination game in the Gainesville Regional. FAU guy hits a drive to center field. CF goes back to the wall, jumps, misses the ball and crashes into the wall. LF apparently was taking a nap and did not come over to cover. The ball bounced back at least 100 feet by the time the LF woke up and came over to get the ball. Easiest two-run inside the park homer you’ll ever see. FAU up 2-0 as a result.
That’s an example of a LF who may need to find the Pine! There’s a lot of difference between the way the game is played today and when I was growing up!
I’m not so sure thet’s a difference in how the game is played as much as it is a lazy or sleeping LF. Hustle has never gone out of style.
