I called my mom today to wish her a happy Mother's Day. I said, "I'm going to try to hit a home run for you, Mom." I didn't do that, but I took one away.
I'm pretty sure she'll be happy with that.
Making a catch like that is a feeling that's so good, so awesome, it's hard to describe. I thought I had a chance when Miguel Olivo got into that ball, but I had a lot of ground to cover, because I was shading him over toward right center. He's got some serious power.
There's a lot that goes into making a play like that. You have to get to the wall, but not too close, and you have to time it just right. After the game, I went and watched the replay in the video room with Justin Speier, and he said I had some serious hang time on it.
I felt like I could have dunked, two hands, over Shaq. I felt like a wide receiver did a slant, and I took him out.

I'm glad that Torii Hunter has a blog
it’s so rare that we’d get to hear from him otherwise, given his aversion to notepads and pencils
I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.
