How Jay and I got to the baseball field
Here is the ball field - with Hunter playing left field
Someone demonstrating the I'm going for a home run batting posture
Coaching at 3rd
Hunter demonstrating a determination for running smart
Hunter and another guy running
The beginning of Hunter's tour-of-the-bases - preparation
Watch the fly ball for the next 6 frames
Now the ball is rolling toward 3rd
Hmm - where's the ball?
Notice #8 racing from 3rd to home in the foreground (right frame)
Safe on 1st but anxious to go
Now the race to 2nd starts
Safe on 2nd and literally suspended in mid air - check out his foot over the 2nd base bag - in the next frame - he is solidly on the bag
Now the race for 3rd starts
Looking at the 3rd base coach - he says RUN - so off Hunter goes for home plate
Now for the instant replay - sliding into home
and "Am I safe?"
