“The Houston Astros have signed Jason Heyward. The Houston Astros need Kyle Tucker back ASAP.”
Apologies to RTB - I did not see your post prior to putting this in the wrong thread.

Kyle Tucker has started to sprint, Joe Espada said. An important step in his recovery. Espada said he’s close to running the bases, but unclear when that will be.

And it’s even more inspiring when you consider that he has no legs.

Who’s this Tucker guy anyway and why does this site devote so much time to him?
“But that man has no hands!?”

Heroes never give up.
He’s like the T-1000 crawling out of the hydraulic press.
Truly an inspiration.
Lt Kyle, you ain’t got no legs

And probably still faster than Caratini.
So, when playing on my (very good) church league softball team, they all used to laugh at me running, saying I look like I am running in quicksand. In the OF, on the basepaths, anywhere. They called me “a natural catcher”.
One year, a bunch of them agreed to be course marshals for a local 5K the church was hosting. As I made my way thru the race, they all went apeshit when they saw me, especially at the end busting through with a 19-something time.
Maybe Caratini is just a distance runner like me.

Set the bases a thousand yards apart and you’ll dominate.

What color were the general admission seat in center field at the astrodome? And how much were the tickets?
$4 in the late 80s.
Kind of a dark gray color.
Watched Glenn Wilson hit one into the loge while sitting there.
(I was sitting, Glen was at home plate)

They were black and $1 if you got there before 5, but I’ll take that answer.
Caught a Biggio foul ball in batting practice. I’m not a troll, just think if Tucker could have been traded in instead of the farm It would have been a better trade.
U FOO!
I know who will be stuffing the Harris ballot box in November,
Wow, doubling down on the stupid AND the 100% opposite of correct.
