Shall we Dance?

      I really like those cards of players in odd and uncomfortable-looking poses, whether they are diving for a ball, stretching to make a catch, or flopping to avoid an oncoming baserunner. I looked through about 600 cards and found about a dozen or so cards of players doing these 'dances'. Some are better than others, and I could have found more, except I was looking for them at 11:00 at night. Shall we dance?

Please play this video while reading the post:

    Now that we have the proper music, let's take a gander at the dancers:

Ricky's  a double dancer

Nice twist Frank

Love that spin move

I have numerous cards of Greg Gagne making some nice poses

His face makes this snapshot all the better

This dance ends with a big stomp

He doesn't have a partner to catch him

This is the very start of the dance when he points up high

This may be my favorite dancer. It takes real skill to do this one

There's the big leap

This may be another card of Greg Gagne, but look at Dawson's moves

And Finally...

It seems that Jim Gott is also a karate master...

    Well, there you go. As the music fades, I realize that this is my way of making my un-special cards interesting to the readers. Although I have to admit that John Patterson is a bit of a stretch. And Aaron Holbert is doing a bit of a stretch. My favorite dancer is Jeff Blauser. What's yours?

    I could probably find many more of these 'dancer' cards, but for the time being will hold off. Thank you for reading.
