Most exciting play in baseball

The steal of home is the most exciting play in baseball to watch. This one is even better for a few reasons:

1. It happened against the Yankees. I love watching the Yankees get burned. Watch the looks on the Yankess faces: Andy Pettite (pitcher), Jorge Posada (catcher) and Joe Girardi (manager).

2. It happened in the top rivalry game. Out of all teams that stole home against the Yankees, I'm glad it was Boston (Jacoby Ellsbury).

3. It happened IN Boston. Listen to the sound of the crowd grow as they collectively saw the runner at third begin the steal.

4. It happened in a nationally broadcast game - the whole country saw.

5. It happened with the best announcer in baseball on the call - Jon Miller communicated the excitement of the play.

Wow!!! Elisbury must have gotten an incredible jump on Pettite. Elisbury also got a curve ball. Rarely do you see a straight steal of home plate. That was fun to watch. I did stop-action just as the catcher caught the ball. It's a cool picture.

The best was hearing it called live on the radio while you drive for work. An old school play called the old school way

The Mission

2 Tim 4:1-4
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
