...finished Kim. Catcher Jorge Posada doubled to left. Two pitches later, third baseman Scott Brosius connected with a slider that didn?t slide. He knew immediately that it was gone, raising his arms in triumph. As delirious Yankee fans danced in the stands, several Arizona players ran to the mound to comfort the crushed Kim. Brenly came out and mercifully replaced...
...sure that somebody else out there remembers watching SportsCenter during spring training and picking his or her jaw off the ground after seeing this play. It was a preseason game between the Diamondbacks and the Giants. Randy Johnson was on the mound for the ’Backs, and he threw a fastball that never made it to catcher Rod Barajas’ mitt.

It's a rough ride that ends with a kick...
