Second Base Battle

"Richie Martin #1 of the Baltimore Orioles (R) steals second base as Eduardo Nunez #36 of the Boston Red Sox attempts to make the out during the eighth inning at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on May 8, 2019 in Baltimore, Maryland."

Some will say early season play in any sport equals less excitement - I don't believe it for a second.

Sure there is nothing like a game seven in a any given playoff in any given sport. But that doesn't mean athletes are going through the motions in attempt to coast to that historic game.

And that's why I love sports. One can be in the same satdium day after day, yet they have no idea what will happen.

Thus was the case in this second base battle.

A strong effort by both Eduardo Nunez of the Boston Red Sox and Richie Martin of the Baltimore Orioles made for a great picture that could easily mimic a game-changing playoff play.
